Occupational Health and Safety
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is the application of safety, health and welfare principles to the workplace to ensure that all workers can safely perform their roles and tasks. OHS is the responsibility of employer, employees and all stakeholders to create, promote and maintain a safe and healthy workplace. OHS includes promoting safe practices and preventing accidents, disease, and other health risks in the workplace. It ensures that employers and employees understand how their roles contribute to a safe and healthy environment, and that they understand the risks that may arise. OHS is essential for any workplace as it helps to minimize the risk of harm to workers and other people who may interact with the workplace. This not only limits the risk of injury and ill health, but also creates a positive and productive working environment.
