OH&S

The OH&S system is geared towards reducing and preventing accidents and accident-related loss of lives, resources, and time. It also provides guidance on how to manage the health and safety aspects of business activities more effectively, while taking into careful consideration accident prevention, risk reduction and the well being of employees.
