Services for Occupational Health and Safety
An occupational health and safety (OHS) strategy allows you to demonstrate to your customers and staff that your company understands risk management. As well as being a legal requirement in most industries, an approved or even certified OHS system can be vital in preventing accidents in your company.
Our services will help you prevent or mitigate the number of hazards and incidents in your company. We are a reliable partner for all matters related to the development of an efficient OHS strategy relevant to your line of business. We are a trusted service provider and worked for a wide range of customers and industries across the globe. You can count on our expertise.
Disclaimer: At TÜV Rheinland, the neutrality, objectivity, independency and impartiality of our activities are of utmost importance. Our assessment and audit activities follow these values in compliance with the applicable accreditation requirements. All the necessary structural, organizational and processual measures are in place in all levels of the organization in order to avoid conflicts of interest (e.g. rigorous separation of consultancy and certification) and to ensure impartiality. We do not offer or provide management system consultancy by an accredited certification body for management systems. Within the TR Group, we ensure a minimum 2-year interval between management system consultancy and certification activity for the same customer.
