Purchasing, Material Control & Storage

If purchasing is effectively managed, OHS problems can be avoided. Those responsible for selecting goods and services must take OHS issues into consideration when making purchasing decisions. Incorporation of OHS considerations into the purchase process reduces the potential for the purchase of defective or deficient goods and services.

Issues addressed by this category are:

(a) Designing OHS into purchasing systems
(b) Purchasing verification
(c) Product/service traceability
(d) Safe storage systems
(e) Hazardous substance/chemical handling systems (including disposal/waste strategy)
