Statement

OSH POLICY AND SAFETY STATEMENT
An occupational health and safety (OHS) policy is an employer’s written commi
tment to the health and safety of both their employees and their workplace.
The company’s OHS policy statement should be a collaborative effort between
the management and staff, as well as health and safety professionals.
It does not matter how well-written your company’s OHS policy statement is if
responsibilities are not clearly defined and assigned.
THANK
YOU!
