The Occupational Safety and Health Council (The Council) introduced the Hong Kong Safety and Health Certification Scheme (HKSHCS), aiming at providing certification services on Safety and Health Management System for industries, communities and enterprises, thereby ensuring the development of an effective safety management system, as well as to achieve the target of continuous improvement through re-certification.

The scheme also provides accreditation services to relevant OSH practitioners and competent persons to ensure that they possess the necessary qualifications and capability to perform the specified duties. The accreditation services would enhance their competency and safety performances, and at the same time provides a recognition to the industry.
