What is Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)?
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance is crucial for employers.
- Employee safety - A safe environment can prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses, contributing to the overall well-being of the workforce.
- Legal obligations - Employers are legally required to comply with OHS regulations. Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, or even legal action.
- Productivity - A safe and healthy work environment can increase productivity. Employees who feel safe at work will likely be more productive and engaged.
- Reputation - Compliance with OHS regulations can enhance an organisation's reputation. It demonstrates a commitment to employee safety and can make the organisation more attractive to potential employees, customers and partners.
- Cost savings - Compliance can also lead to cost savings in the long run. It can reduce costs associated with workplace accidents, such as medical expenses, compensation claims, and lost productivity.
