Despite this many organisations continue to fail to adequately document their system or develop systems that are so complicated no-one bothers following them. The result is that health and safety is not managed effectively or understood by those who should be managing it, i.e. line managers.

Cardinus Risk Management are now assisting a number of organisations, from SME through to large blue chip organisations, in developing simple but effective, documented safety management systems, including systems that can be accredited to the BS OHSAS 18001 safety management system standard.

BS OHSAS 18001 can help you put in place the policies, procedures and controls needed for your organisation to achieve the best possible working conditions, aligned to internationally recognised best practice.

Such systems are based on prioritised risks that mean they are bespoke to the organisation itself. We help to develop the risk register; management procedures and assist in the assessments and control processes whilst ensuring input from the organisation itself. This is essential to ensure the system remains a bespoke one that reflects accurately the activities of that organisation.
