Enviro Occupational Health and Safety Management System

The Enviro Occupational Health & Safety Management System is designed to allow companies to develop and maintain the principles of good management. The system has been established to assist in compliance with OHSAS 18001 and with BS 8800, and is based on the HS(G) 65 approach. The Occupational Health & Safety Management System will provide you with a method of controlling your Occupational Health & Safety obligations, assist in minimising risk to employees, aid business performance, and establish a health and safety culture within your organisation.

Background

HS(G) 65 - Successful Health & Safety Management, was first prepared by the HSE's Accident Prevention Advisory Unit in 1991 as a practical guide for directors, managers, health and safety professionals and employee representatives who wanted to improve health and safety in their organisation.

Together with legal requirements, the framework described in HS(G) 65 provides the basis for the approach which HSE inspectors take when auditing an organisation's arrangements for managing health and safety.

The System

The Enviro Occupational Health & Safety Management System comprises four elements:

• Policy
  
• System Management
