In recent years, the death toll of industrial accidents in my country has exceeded 100,000 every year, with an average of 300 deaths and 1,000 injuries per day; serious and serious accidents occur frequently; a large number of hidden dangers of accidents still exist; the awareness of self-protection of enterprise employees is weak. The number of occupational patients remains high. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 500,000 factories, mines, and enterprises in the country that have occupational hazards of varying degrees, and more than 25 million workers are actually exposed to occupational hazards such as dust, poisons and noise. Work-related accidents and occupational hazards not only threaten the lives and health of workers, but also cause huge losses to individuals, enterprises and the country. According to preliminary estimates, the economic loss caused by this in my country in recent years is nearly 80 billion yuan. n

To this end, the State Administration of Work Safety has decided that this year the country will actively implement an internationally popular management system - Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS). At the same time, the National Standardization Administration and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration jointly announced that the OHSAS standard has been approved and released by the National Standards Committee and will be officially implemented on January 1, 2002.

Since the beginning of this year, local governments at all levels have actively strengthened work safety supervision and management, established work safety supervision administrations and promulgated management regulations. Example: Shenzhen's forthcoming "Shenzhen Enterprise Responsible Personnel Safety Management Responsibility Investigation Measures" stipulates that the legal representative who is actually responsible for processing and production shall perform safety management duties. d

What benefits does the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS) bring to enterprises?

1. Minimize all kinds of work-related accidents and hidden dangers of occupational diseases

By establishing and maintaining a systematic and procedural scientific management system with a high degree of self-discipline and self-improvement mechanism, control and reduce occupational health and safety risks, and continuously improve the organization's occupational health and safety management performance, so as to prevent and reduce accidents with the ultimate purpose of occupational disease. i

2. Improve corporate image, break trade barriers, and gain a favorable position in domestic and international competition, thereby increasing market share

In order to maintain their advantages in trade, developed countries always use various methods to restrict and set up many obstacles, and paint environmental protection, human rights, and labor safety with commercial colors. In this situation, domestic enterprises can break new trade barriers only by obtaining the system certification of environmental management (ISO14000) and occupational health and safety management (OHSAS18000). my country has joined the WTO. Under this situation, if the enterprise does not pass the OHSAS certification, it will be affected in the international trade. t

3. Strengthen the cohesion of enterprises and improve economic benefits

The safety work of the enterprise's production is solid, its cohesion is enhanced, the production enthusiasm of the employees is fully mobilized, and the economic benefit of the enterprise is also improved.

Fourth, to meet the requirements of the other party (related parties)

Satisfy customer requirements (provide goods/services)

Meet the requirements of the purchaser (project construction, installation party A/project bidding unit)

5. Improve the relationship between the government, enterprises and employees

Meet the government's requirements for the safety responsibility of enterprise leaders (in the event of an accident in the enterprise, the leader will be held responsible, or even criminally responsible, according to the severity)

To meet the needs of employees for self-protection (improvement of employees' cultural quality / increase in the proportion of only-child employees)

Sixth, to further improve the overall management level of the enterprise

Continuously improve the management level of the enterprise, improve the production efficiency and economic benefits of the enterprise, and become a modern enterprise.

Implementing safety first and carrying out occupational health and safety management system certification is the top priority of the company.
