Title: Safety Standard Programs That Protect Your Organisation


1
Safety Standard Programs That Protect Your
Organisation
  • ARS offers a number of safety standard programs,
    like the AS 4801 Occupational Health and Safety
    Management System (OHSMS) and a program developed
    by WorkSafe Australia.
  • The importance of OHS cannot be understated.
    Implementing a robust and comprehensive OHSMS
    presents legal, financial, ethical and industrial
    relations benefits. It protects workers and
    companies, boosts employee morale, and reassures
    investors and clients.

AS 4801 Safety Standard Program
  • The AS 4801 OHSMS, published by Standards
    Australia, details what an organisation is
    required to do in order to develop policies and
    objectives relating to the OHS hazards and risks
    over which it has control.
  • The AS 4801 Safety Standard Program takes into
    account both relevant legislative requirements
    and more general information about OHS risks.
  • Achieving certification requires external safety
    auditing by a qualified third party, a process
    that presents a number of benefits including
  • A higher chance of winning tenders
  • Attracting higher calibre workers
  • Proof of quality of OHSMS

OHSAS 18001 liOHS Management System Compliance
  • WorkCovers Safety Management Achievement Program
    is a flexible audit tool that can be used to
    assess any OHSMS.
  • The program allows organisations to measure their
    current performance and compare it to a
    recognised benchmark, gain recognition for the
    standards achieved, and implement a cycle of
    continuous improvement.
  • According to WorkSafe Australia, organisations
    that meet a certain level of the program should
    be meeting their legal obligations. However, in
    order to assess the effectiveness of any program,
    it needs to be compared against organisational
    objectives. This is why it is important to engage
    an experienced external safety auditing company.

ARS Experienced Auditors
  • In order to implement a comprehensive, effective
    and feasible OHSMS program, your external safety
    auditing service needs to take into account not
    only regional standards, but also international
    developments, latest research, industry
    benchmarks and organisational objectives, among
    numerous other factors.
  • The ability to account for all of these dynamics
    requires intelligence and experience. Not only
    up-to-date with the latest news and legislation
    relating to risk assessment and management, ARS
    has provided safety auditing services across
    Australia and as far afield as Africa.
  • ARS has worked with a diverse range of
    industries, from mining to logistics, food and
    beverage manufacture, events management and more.
