Overview
Everyone wants to come home safe after a day at work.
The implementation and maintenance of an AS/NZS 4801 compliance management system will help you to achieve just that. This systematic approch will help you identify and control health and safety risks, identify legislatives obligations and reduce potential for accidents.
Achieving certification will help demonstrate due diligence, improved morale, enhance your reputation and broaden your business opportunities by showing compliance.
Scheme
AS/NZS 4801
Occupational Health and Safety compliance is one of the biggest issues confronting businesses today. There is a growing awareness and expectation in the community that “everyone deserves a safe job, and come home at night unhurt”. Many western countries are now introducing legislation which will make supervisors, managers, directors and board, accountable for unsafe work environments.
OHS standards are designed to provide a framework, within organisations, that will identify hazards, quantify the risks, and put it place control methods to eliminate, reduce or control these risks.
This also needs to be done within a system environment: this means an organisation needs to have sound systems for dealing with issues such as:
• Training, induction and competence recognition
• Planning, and keeping on top of legislation
• Internal audits
• Communications
• Document control
• Incident reporting etc
Due diligence may also be improved by demonstrating compliance with a framework like AS 4801.

NSW Government Work Health and Safety Management System Guidelines
NSW Government Work Health and Safety Management System Guidelines were developed to facilitate the achievement of improved health and safety performance by the construction industry.
Compliance with the NSW Government Work Health and Safety Management System Guidelines is a key element of the Procurement Policy Framework of the NSW Government Agency. Compliance is assessed through a document review process undertaken by a qualified Lead Auditor.
A Global-Mark certification to these guidelines demonstrates that your system complies with these requirements.
ISO 45001
ISO 45001 is one of the few international standards designed to offer organisations the ability to have their OHS management system assessed and certified against an international framework.
