What is Occupational health and safety?
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a
planned system of working to prevent
illness and injury where you work by recognizing
and identifying hazards and risks
 An occupational health and safety management
system should follow the following
elements:

1. Management Commitment-management can show

their commitment to OHS by
 establishing an OHS policy
 identifying its objectives
 2. Planning- planning includes setting standards for
management and employees by
establishing:
 How the business ensures sound OHS practices are
implemented?

3. Consultation- consult and work with your employees,

It is important that employees have a basic understanding
of what could be considered high –risk activities in the
salon.
Consultation is required when identifying hazards, assessing
risks and deciding on measures to eliminate or minimize
those risks. In deciding how to eliminate or minimize risks,
you must consult with your workers who will be affected by
this decision, either directly or through their health and
safety representative.
 4. Training- it is important to give the health and
safety training to new or inexperienced workers,
including those that have been away from the
workforce for some time.
