How to implement an OH&S Management System

An Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Management System is the framework that enables companies to achieve their OH&S objectives through a process of continual improvement. It requires that you identify OH&S hazards, mitigate them and provide a safe working environment for every worker. The OH&S Management System, allows you to develop a robust health and safety culture. Implementing a management system from scratch can be perceived as very difficult, but with the right guidance, any organization can improve the work environment and make it a safer place to work.

• What does an OH&S Management System look like?
• What are the benefits of an OH&S Management System?
• What does an effective "implementation plan" look like?

An ISO 45001 OH&S Management System will help you to continually monitor and manage occupational health and safety initiatives and incidents across your business so you can continually improve the safety of your employees.

Three steps to success

An Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Management System can be a great asset to any organization. By using a variation of the ‘Plan-Do-Check-Act’ model, you can increase the effectiveness of your OH & S System and support your goal to keep your workers safe. An improved work environment, and workers’ satisfaction improves the bottom line. Start with ‘Check’ then create the ‘Plan’ and finally ‘Do’ the implementation for the best outcome. Implementing a management system from scratch can be perceived as very difficult, but with the right guidance, any organization can improve the work environment and make it a safer place to work.

• Step #1: Check
• Step #2: Plan
• Step #3: Do

The 5 most common mistakes and how to avoid them

An Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management System can be a great asset to any organization. Conversely, a poorly implemented management system will often confuse employees. If it is too detailed, it will add extra work and confusion that could be deadly in an emergency. If your resulting system is not easy to use and does not help people in an emergency, you may be better off without it!

• Mistake #1: Over-documenting your system
• Mistake #2: Choosing a document control system that complicates your management system
• Mistake #3: Worrying about what the auditor will want to see
• Mistake #4: Spending time and money on internal audits that don’t add value
• Mistake #5: Skimping on resources to maintain and improve the management system

Identifying risks and hazards

Risk assessment and hazard Identification are the backbone of an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management system. It enables organizations to mitigate dangerous situations and anticipate the unexpected. This helps create a structured approach for managing health and safety risks. This webinar will guide you to develop a structured hazard assessment and identification methodology.

• What are the ‘Risks and Opportunities’ requirements in ISO 45001?
• How to perform a ‘Hazard Identification’ assessment?
• What does an ‘emergency response’ plan need to include?

A well-designed, and well implemented OH&S Management System can reduce workplace incidents and set you apart as a ‘preferred employer’. Take advantage of the structure of ISO 45001 to improve health and safety in your organization!
