8. Frequently asked questions
Does a company that has adopted an OHSAS 18001 health and safety management system perform better?
Yes, what we see almost systematically is a continuous improvement in the performance of organizations that have implemented OHSAS 18001. This is even more marked in the case of high-risk companies (chemical industries, etc.), where accident frequency and severity rates (the benchmark against which safety levels are measured) are very low. OHSAS 18001 also makes it possible for people who are not accustomed to exchanging information to work together, thus breaking down organizational barriers and improving efficiency.
