OHSAS membership renewal

Walsall, Bilston, Chesterfield and Telford OHSAS membership renewals.

OHSAS is an International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. As stated by the British Assessment Bureau (the awarding body) “It provides a framework for the effective management of OH&S including all aspects of risk management and legal compliance. It addresses occupational health and safety rather than any specific product safety matters.”

OHSAS 18001 is important for the following reasons: 

• It reduces workplace hazards and boosts employee morale
• It provides a safe environment in which to conduct operations and business
• It is a framework for an occupational health and safety management system
• It minimises the risk of production delays.

A number of Joseph Ash Galvanizing plants were awarded OHSAS in 2015 (Bilston, Chesterfield, Telford and Walsall), and we are pleased to say that membership has just been renewed.

Well done to the teams at Bilston, Walsall, Telford and Chesterfield for this achievement!

Watch this space for OHSAS 18001 at the remaining Joseph Ash Galvanizing plants.
