Reston, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2010 -- The recent industrial accidents have highlighted the importance of Occupational Health and Safety. BSI will be exploring this further in its next free webinar, “Exploring the Value of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System”, which will be held on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 1:00 pm EDT, and will explore how a management system can help address health and safety concerns to improve a company’s bottom line.
Safety incidents can cost the lives of employees, affect the livelihood of direct and indirect suppliers, severely tarnish the name and reputation of the company and drive down its value to investors and stakeholders. An Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), like BSI’s OHSAS 18001, sets processes and procedures in place that protect workers and assist companies to meet industry and government compliance to safety regulations.
OHSAS 18001 allows companies to predicatively identify, evaluate, and control their particular health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, sustain regulatory compliance and continually improve organizational performance. At our next webinar, learn the value of an internationally-recognized management system for occupational health and safety, OHSAS 18001.
