Establishing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System for Small Enterprises is a practical guide for small businesses that want to move beyond simply understanding ISO 45001:2018 and begin putting its requirements into real-world operation.
The book explains how to establish a working Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&S Management System) suited to the actual conditions of small enterprises. It provides practical guidance for organizing safety responsibilities, identifying workplace hazards, assessing and controlling risks, involving workers, strengthening legal compliance, and establishing a structured approach to occupational health and safety.
Rather than overwhelming small businesses with excessive theory or complicated systems, the book focuses on creating a clear, practical, and manageable OH&S system that protects workers while supporting operational stability and long-term compliance.
The book covers the foundation of the OH&S management system, risk assessment and hazard identification, legal and compliance requirements, training and competency, employee participation, and safety culture.
