OSHjohtamisjärjestelmä

OSHjohtamisjärjestelmä, which translates to Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS), is a structured approach to managing safety and health risks in the workplace. It provides a framework for organizations to identify, assess, and control hazards, thereby preventing accidents, injuries, and ill health. The system is typically designed to be integrated into an organization's overall management processes, rather than being a standalone function.

The core elements of an OSHjohtamisjärjestelmä often include a policy statement, hazard identification and risk assessment, control measures, training and competency, communication, consultation, monitoring and measurement, incident investigation, audit, and management review. The ultimate goal is continuous improvement of OSH performance.

Implementing an OSHjohtamisjärjestelmä can lead to numerous benefits, such as reduced workplace accidents and associated costs, improved employee morale and productivity, enhanced legal compliance, and a stronger organizational reputation. Many international standards, like ISO 45001, provide guidance on the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an OSHjohtamisjärjestelmä. The specific structure and components of an OSHjohtamisjärjestelmä can vary depending on the size, nature, and complexity of the organization.
