If you have any questions please email info@obsequentia.com.au.Safety certification is recognition from an independent third party that your organisation complies with a recognised standard detailing safety management protocols. Certification is also a public demonstration of the organisation’s commitment to reduce and ultimately eliminate workplace injury. Key safety management requirements are outlined below:

• Ensuring a safe work environment
• Documented safety management policies and procedures
• Record all activities related to safety management and incidents
• Health and overall safety of staff
• Assessments of safety hazards and the implementation of appropriate controls to mitigate these risks
• Consultation and communication with others
• Incident investigation.

The major benefit of safety certification is that it:

• Reduces workplace illness and injury The primary objective of an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System is to improve OHS systems and processes which in turn reduces OHS incidents.
• Competitive advantage Become a supplier of choice and have a competitive advantage over your competitors since your organisation is safety certified. Improve your chances of acquiring tenders.
• Manage your reputation Safety certification can help to reduce risks associated with any cost or damage to your reputation associated with a workplace injury. Safety certification is a public demonstration of the organisation’s commitment to reduce and ultimately eliminate workplace injury. Safety certification can also result in reduced insurance premiums.
• Compliments existing management standards The safety standards complement ISO 9001 hence, an organisation can have a safety management system that can work in conjunction with their quality and environmental management system. This ultimately makes it easier to develop an integrated management system that combines quality, safety and environmental management systems.
