STEP 1 - The Real Reason Why Employer Persue OSHMS

Before we start we need to trash out in the open why employers subscribe to OSHMS....

Whenever I recommend any party to proceed in developing OSHMS I will explain the entire development process which they should know. So we need to get the objectives right.

1. Customer driven requirement such as contractual obligations - definition of clauses, trend of buyer portfolio (Responsible Buyer) which will include products and services which comply Quality, Environmental Friendly, Contribute to Sound Social Behaviors and many many others.

Actually it relates to ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES - The components of MORALITY!!

2. Corporate Risk Management requirements such as Corporate Governance compliance for public listed company such as SA8800 (Social Accountability Standards)

  2. I agreed on the points you have raised. In additional, the legal implementation in this Country that has 2 optional systems 1) OHSAS 18001 and 2) MS ISO 1722.
    Definitely, all companies in Malaysia will prefer the easier way i.e. OHSAS 18001.
