Occupational Health and Safety Services

OHS is a critical aspect of workplace management that focuses on promoting and maintaining the physical, mental, and social well-being of workers.OHS services encompass a range of activities, including workplace hazard identification, risk assessment, and mitigation, as well as health and safety training for employees. These services are designed to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities by ensuring that employers provide a safe and healthy work environment.In the United States, OHS services are primarily regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets standards for workplace safety and conducts inspections to ensure compliance with these standards. OSHA also provides outreach, education, and assistance to employers and employees to promote safer working conditions.In Puerto Rico, OHS services are regulated by the Puerto Rico Occupational Safety and Health Administration (PR OSHA), which has the same mandate as OSHA but operates at the territorial level. PR OSHA also provides training and consultation services to employers and employees.Overall, OHS services play a critical role in protecting workers’ health and safety, and organizations that prioritize OHS often see increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and improved employee morale.
