WHAT IS OHS
• Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a concept
that affects every organization, but you need to understand the basics in order to inform your safety management strategy effectively. • OHS, or Occupational Health and Safety, is a multidisciplinary practice dealing with all aspects of health and safety in the workplace, with a strong focus on preventing workplace hazards. • The enjoyment of these standards is a basic human right that should be afforded to each and every worker, regardless of the nature of their work. With OHS standards in place, workers are able to carry out their responsibilities in a safe and secure working environment, free from hazards. The best part is that you don’t even have to hire someone new to do the job.
