Safeguarding occupational health and safety is both an obligation to safeguard Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and one of the goals of the public authorities and other actors involved in the prevention of occupational hazards.
Accredited services contribute to making these goals a reality by helping reduce the risks associated with health and safety in the workplace and integrating the prevention of occupational risks in businesses.
