HISTORY OF SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Taking into account the size of our company and the
diversified structure of the works, the company
management considered it necessary and compulsory to
implement a OHS management systems
As well, the number of casualties and / or professional
illness occurred along the years determined the Company
Management to reconsider the safety criteria in
researching, designing and performance of objectives,
especially in their management
Thus the labor safety criterion is at least as important as
the economic criterion, since it is not subordinated to the
latter
HISTORY OF SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
These prerequisites brought about the necessity to
implement a OSH management system.
Several systems were studied at first, namely SCC, BS
8800:1996, OHSAS 18001:1999.
The adopted system was implemented betwen 2000 and
2001 and certified in November 2001, having as a
reference OHSAS 18001:1999.
One of the basic features of the implemented LHS
management system is represented by the fact it involves,
besides the weeting of the social and legal obligations of
the Management, also critical economic aspects, namely
the reduction of material losses caused by casualties and /
or professional illness, reduction of idle periods of time,
etc.
HISTORY OF SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Upon setting up its Management System Hidroconstructia
pursued 3 backgrouds:
The normative background: within which the basic
principles of the company, its policy, objectives were
establishead;
The strategic background: within which the objectives set
up within the normative background were turned into
average and long term programs and into action programs
The operative background: the implementation at all
levels of the strategies and programs by periodically
assessing them with a wiew to correlating them with the set
up objectives
Upon the OHS system implementation the QA and
environment protection systems were also taken into account
and a future objective aims at integrating the 3 systems
