About The Seminar:
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) focuses primarily on protecting workers in the workplace from accidents, injuries, and exposure to harmful substances. While accidents can happen at any time, the employer must ensure that they take steps to reduce the risk of incidents and maintain a safe working environment. ILO standards on occupational safety and health provide essential tools for governments, employers and workers to establish such practices and ensure maximum safety at work. ILO’s Occupational Safety and Health Management System focuses on the following parameters:
- Policy
- Organizing
- Planning and implementation
- Evaluation 5. Auditing
- Action for improvement
- Continual improvement
It’s no secret that all industries have safety hazards of some sort. The most important aspect of a good OSH policy is identifying these hazards and ensuring that employees have the training, safety equipment, and other resources needed to work safely. Failure to implement effective policies and precautions can lead to injuries, reduced productivity due to the absence or loss of skilled labour, workers’ compensation claims, and other civil and criminal liabilities under various labour laws across the globe.
