OHSAS 18001 Occupational safety
The OHSAS 18001 certification (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) sets the requirements that companies must have in order for their workers to operate in safe conditions.
The OHSAS 18001 management and organizational system is recognized and referred to in the Consolidated Law on Security 81/2008, as an organization and management model suitable for having effective exemption from administrative liability (Legislative Decree 231/2001). In addition, INAIL recognizes the OHSAS 18001 management systems as sufficient elements to achieve the reduction of insurance premiums.
The advantages for companies that choose to become OHSAS certified are manifold:
