Development and Implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS)
⚖️ Legislative basis and mandatoriness in the Republic of Kazakhstan
The implementation and operation of an OHSMS is a direct statutory obligation for every employer within the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan:
- Labor code of the RK: Directly obligates the employer to develop, implement, and maintain an effective occupational health and safety management system.
- Standard regulation on OHSMS: Defines the mandatory structure, procedures for hazard identification, risk assessment, and safety performance monitoring.
- Penalties and Fines: The absence of a functioning OHSMS and violations of OHS rules entail a warning or administrative fines ranging from 20 to 240 MCI, with the risk of suspension of facility operations.
📋 What is included in the OHSMS document package?
We develop a system tailored to your General Classifier of Economic Activities (GCEA) and production specifics that works in practice rather than remaining mere paperwork.
