Keeping you and your staff safe
The self-assessment tool that gives you confidence in your health and safety management systems
Occupational health and safety (OH&S) is a vital function in organizations of all kinds. Organizations are increasingly concerned with achieving and demonstrating sound OH&S performance by controlling their OH&S risks, consistent with their policies and objectives.
As legislation becomes increasingly stringent organizations need to find ways to undertake reviews to assess their own performance. But to be effective, reviews need to be conducted within a structured management system that is integrated within the organization.
BSI Health & Safety Self-assessment Online uses a series of questions to interrogate your occupational health and safety management system against best practice standards such as BS OHSAS 18001. It helps you to identify where your occupational health and safety management system is working well and where the system needs attention.
