Occupational safety and health (OSH)
OSH is a set of measures laid down by legislation and the employer. They constitute an effective means of prevention against potential health danger or damage during a working process. Furthermore they intend to protect property and human health. The obligation to ensure OSH arises for any legal or in-business natural person.
