SAFETY AND HEALTH SERVICES AT WORK (SST)

Implementation of the OHS Management System

Peruvian regulations require companies to implement an Occupational Health and Safety Management System in accordance with their operational risks and business activities. At UR Global we provide comprehensive advice for the implementation, updating and adaptation of the OSH Management System in accordance with Law No. 29783 and complementary regulations.

Some of the most important obligations that organizations must address in relation to occupational health and safety are the following:

  • Implement an occupational health and safety management system based on your level of organization, the risks presented by your activities and the number of employees at your disposal.
  • Guarantee knowledge and appreciation of health and safety at work, by all members of the organization.
  • Define an area of ​​the organization in charge of identifying and controlling the dangers of its work activity, and ensuring that all workers are aware of it.
  • Establish, implement and carry out health and safety management documents at work, with realistic and measurable objectives.
  • Leave the election of the HSE supervisor to the workers themselves, if they have less than 20 collaborators.
  • Prepare an “Internal Regulation for Safety and Health at Work”, in case you have 20 or more workers. This regulation must contain at least the SST objectives and policy, the obligations of those in charge, the health and safety standards in services and operations, and the emergency protocol.
  • Make available to the area in charge of health and safety at work, the necessary resources to comply with preventive measures.
