OHS governance in a corporate context essentially involves balancing the interests of an organization’s many stakeholders such as shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and the community. It includes assurance mechanisms that routinely check that the organization’s risk profile is accurate, that sufficient control is in place, and that management is effective. Governance includes structures and processes that are designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity and inclusiveness, empowerment and broad-based participation.
