Minimize accidents at work and reduce liability risks<\/h2>\n

Safety and health management systems <\/span><\/strong>(SGM systems or OHS-MS – Occupational Health and Safety Management System) are an important tool for minimizing accidents at work and the associated business risks, particularly in view of the ever-increasing time pressure in companies and the often rapidly changing working conditions.<\/p>\n

An SGM can be implemented in accordance with ISO 45001\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>or according to various national or industry-related systems (e.g. SCC<\/span><\/strong>) can be set up and certified. It is important that the OHS-MS is adapted to the individual needs of the company and that the system is put into practice and brings about a continuous improvement in accident figures and the health rate. An SGM can be certified by an accredited certifier. Annual external audits must be carried out for this purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
