Occupational Health & Safety

Overview

Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) focuses on protecting employees, contractors, and visitors from workplace hazards that may cause injury, illness, or long-term health effects.

Mediature GxP Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (MGS) supports pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, API, medical-device, laboratory, warehouse, engineering, and other industrial organizations with workplace safety assessments, hazard control, safe work practices, training, incident review, contractor safety, and continuous improvement.

Our approach combines hazard identification, risk assessment, engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment, worker awareness, and management oversight to support safer and more controlled operations.

Our Occupational Health & Safety Services

Workplace Safety Assessment

Structured review of work areas, activities, equipment, utilities, access, housekeeping, and operational practices to identify occupational hazards.

Hazard Identification & Risk Control

Support for identifying workplace hazards and defining appropriate preventive and protective controls.

Safe Work Practice Development

Development or review of safe operating procedures, work instructions, checklists, and task-specific safety controls.

PPE Assessment

Hierarchy of Controls

Where hazards are identified, MGS supports risk reduction using an appropriate hierarchy of controls:

• Elimination

Remove the hazard where practicable.

• Substitution

Replace the hazard with a safer alternative where feasible.

Isolate people from the hazard through physical or technical controls.

• Administrative Controls

Use procedures, permits, training, supervision, signage, or work restrictions.

• Personal Protective Equipment

Use appropriate PPE as an additional protective measure.

Our Approach

• Understand the Work

Review workplace activities, equipment, materials, workforce, contractors, and existing safety controls.

• Identify Hazards

Observe actual work practices and identify potential injury or occupational-health risks.

• Assess Risk

Evaluate likelihood, severity, exposure, existing controls, and potential consequences.

• Recommend Controls

Define practical engineering, procedural, administrative, or PPE improvements.

• Implement & Train

Support procedure updates, worker awareness, training, and implementation of improved controls.

• Monitor & Improve

Support inspections, incident review, action tracking, and periodic reassessment.
