The main goals of occupational health and safety, or OHS, are to shield workers from hazardous materials, accidents, and injuries while they are at work. Even if mishaps can occur at any time, it is still the employer's duty to make sure that precautions are taken to lower the likelihood of events and uphold a safe workplace. Setting OHS as a top priority in your company provides many important advantages, such as:

decreased chance of mishaps or injuries through the identification and removal of risks
Enhanced effectiveness and output as a result of fewer workers missing time due to illness or accidents
enhanced morale and employee relations (a less stressed workplace is one that is safer)
Decreased expenses linked to mishaps or injuries (medical and rehabilitation expenses, missed work, effect on workers' welfare)
Reduced insurance costs as a result of fewer occurrences at work and workers' compensation claims
