Occupational Health & Safety

OH and S Management System Implementation

A multi framework occupational health and safety management system built on ISO 45001, OSHA VPP and the India Factories Act, with practical deployment on your site

Programme overview

OH and S
Management System Implementation

Deploying an occupational health and safety management system across a multinational enterprise means navigating parallel framework expectations, namely ISO 45001 for global certification, the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program for your US sites, the EU OSH Framework Directive for your European operations, India's Factories Act and the proposed Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions, the Saudi HCIS and Aramco SAEP 327 requirements and the UK HSE plan, do, check, act model in HSG 65. Effective implementation goes well beyond readiness for certification into real operational discipline, and that means credible hazard identification across routine, non routine, contractor and emergency activities, demonstrable worker participation under ILO Convention 187 and ISO 45001 Clause 5.4, a current legal and other requirements register, integration of behaviour based safety, fatigue risk management for shift operations and the growing emphasis on psychological safety under ISO 45003. Mature programmes also connect with your wider ESG goals, your customer tier one supplier requirements and the contractor pre qualification platforms such as ISNetworld, Avetta and Achilles, and our team builds all of that into a system your people will actually use.

Build hazard register per ISO 45001 Cl.6.1.2 covering routine / non routine activities, normal / abnormal / emergency conditions, internal / external scenarios, apply risk matrix per corporate framework, integrate with PHA and Bow Tie.

Legal Compliance & Other Requirements

Build legal compliance register per Cl.6.1.3, OSHA general industry / construction / maritime, EU directives, state / national specific, track regulatory changes, design compliance evaluation per Cl.9.1.2.

Operational Control & Emergency Preparedness

Design operational control per Cl.8.1, PTW, contractor management, MOC, procurement, change, design emergency preparedness per Cl.8.2 with scenario driven response plans, align with ICS / NIMS and CCPS.

Certification & Continual Improvement
