AS/NZS 4801:2001 Certification Brisbane Queensland

AS 4801 Accreditation for your Queensland Business

A major priority for every business should be the safety of anyone that comes into contact with it, whether it be staff or customers. It is also a firm’s legal obligation to take reasonable precautions to ensure that safety.

An effective OHS certification is integral for working towards improving your organisation’s safety performance by identifying areas that need improvement, analysing the level of risk, and if necessary putting effective control measures into action.

Some of the key benefits of having an AS 4801 Certification

Safety of your personnel
Reduction of risk and liabilities
Enhancement of your reputation as a safe and reliable contractor or supplier
Significant reduction of costs associated with injuries

There are two commonly recognised OHS certifications in New Zealand and Australia. These two are AS/NZS 4801:2001 and OHSAS 18001:2007, and they are very similar in nature.

What is the difference between OHSAS 18001 and AS/NZS 4801 Accreditation?

There is very little difference between these two accreditations, as they both focus on creating the same result and do so using similar methods. Both standards are ultimately concerned with providing injury and illness free work places, by following Management System Principles such as Plan-Do-Check-Act.

AS4801 is more concerned with mitigating workplace injury, whereas OHSAS 18001 has a broader scope, focusing on health as a general key area.

AS4801 is more common in Australia, and OHSAS 18001 is more common with internationally operating companies. It is possible and recommended to adhere to both standards.

As well as providing AS/NZS 4801 Certifications for OHS Management, we provide ISO 9001 Certifications for Quality Management Systems , ISO 14001 for Environmental Management Systems and OHSAS 18001 Certifications for OHS Management.

Testimonials

We are a large family owned and operated business offering a diverse range of services in the commercial and domestic construction industries. The auditors have facilitated the certification process of our systems to fit our business model and culture without complication.

Shane Harris
WHS Officer – GE Hughes Construction CO

Our experience has been an entirely positive one, beginning with our initial certification, and through to subsequent visits. Far from being a desk exercise, the auditors have quickly gained an understanding of our business operations and have made many valuable suggestions leading to positive improvements. At all times their personnel have remained professional, and through their efforts we see ISO certification as a significant asset for our business.

Impala has just completed its second ISO 9001 audit of our quality management system & found the service provided friendly & constructive.

We moved our QA auditing to them from one of their competitors that we had been using for approximately 15 years as they offered a price competitive service with a ‘can do’ attitude thus far we are very happy with the standard of service.

Simon Moore
Managing Director – Impala Plastics (2002) PL

Alpha Geoscience has been using the services of ECAAS for the last five years to provide auditing and accreditation for our organisation. We have been impressed with their professionalism and knowledge in the ISO9001 Accreditation processes and providing guidance and direction on ways in which we can improve our system.

Timothy Pippett
Managing Director / Principal Geophysicist – Alpha Geoscience

Certification seemed like a daunting process given the complexity of our operational processes. The auditor worked around our schedules and our organisation structure and led us hand in hand through the process. Our processes have now been stress tested for a consistent quality experience and for ongoing improvements in this experience. Would highly recommend the investment in them.
