Roadmap to Health, Safety and Compliance

This module is based on the original Partnership in Injury Reduction (PIR) Health and Safety program to assist companies in the development and implementation of their Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS).

The purpose of a Health and Safety Management System is to assist management in identifying and controlling risks, provide the basis for action to health and safety problems and assist in the maximization of productivity for the organization’s resources.
