OH&S Management Systems

An OHS management system (OHSMS) is a structured approach to managing occupational health and safety risks within a workplace. It helps organisations identify, control, and manage risks to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. OHSMSs are a key component of ensuring legal compliance with health and safety regulations and demonstrates an employer's duty of care. 

We provide comprehensive and effective AS/NZS ISO 45001 OH&S Management Systems. Simple to access, purchase, prepare and use - and they are fully backed by email and phone support.

How to Quickly Locate a ‘Best-Fit’ System

A suggested three-step method is:

1. Choose your standard: Do you need to comply with the AS/NZS ISO 45001 standard (our OH&S Management Systems) or AS/NZS 4801 (our WHS Management Systems)? 
2. Decide between package types: Do you need just the OH&S Management System, or an OH&S Industry Pack (including the OH&S Management System plus SWMS)?
3. Pick a product, and start using our OH&S Management Systems to keep your team safe and win more work!

Step 1  |   Choose Your Standard.

You can tell at a glance which standard is in use by whether the name and/or product image shows ‘WHS’ or ‘OH&S’. The safety management systems on this page are for the newer Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) ISO 45001 standard. Follow this link for the older Work Health and Safety (WHS) AS/NZS 4801 standard.

Both our OH&S and WHS Management Systems assist with managing your duty of care under the WHS Act and Regulations. The difference is the Standard they are in accordance with, and can be audited against. Either AS/NZS ISO 45001 or AS/NZS 4801. OH&S and WHS terms are interchangeable, we use OH&S for the AS/NZS ISO 45001 Management Systems to differentiate the 2 options and because the AS/NZS ISO 45001 Standard prescribes OH&S.

All our OH&S Management System resources are compliant with industry safety standards. If you’d like to learn more about the standards and what it means for you, here’s three pathways to choose between:  

1. CALL US: The same people who design the solutions handle telephone support. Absolutely NONE of our people are sales reps, script readers or arm twisters. You can reach us on 1800 304 336.
   
   
2. RUN A QUICK COMPARISON: Take a look at the System Comparison Chart if you like lists and clear contrast.
   
   
3. LEARN MORE AND READ UP: The summary page for Safety Management Systems provides some great explanations, and there are also (at least) four blog articles discussing the new system and potential  impacts on your procedures, schedules, seasonal activities and Must-Haves.

Yes, we think the new AS/NZS ISO 45001 (OH&S) standard is better than the old AS/NZS 4801 (WHS) one, but that’s based on average client base realities. Your circumstances will need to be considered.

If in doubt, we suggest you make the call! 

You know your business. We know the safety legislation, regulations and how to make them work for you. So if in doubt, bring what you've got, and so will we.
