ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System
What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 aims to help organizations to prevent illness, injuries and in extreme cases deaths in the workplace.
It is an International Standard that specifies requirements for an Occupational Health and Safety Management System, with guidance for its use, to enable an organisation to proactively improve its Occupational Health and Safety performance in preventing injury and diseases.
Benefits of using an ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System:
- Ensures compliance with all current legislation worldwide.
- Increased acceptance by regulators, the public, and interested parties. Accepted as being proactive about Health and Safety and continual improvement.
- Improves business performance. A well designed, well implemented ISO 45001 Health and Safety Management System reduces workplace illness and injury and increases productivity.
- Creates consistency throughout the organisation built around “best practices”.
- Provides a platform for attracting lower insurance premiums and proves due diligence to the marketplace.
- Allows better identification of hazards and risk.
- Improves the efficiency of internal operations, reduces accidents, dangers, and downtime.
- Improves the safety of all people affected by the company’s activities.
- Internal auditing is an “early warning system” to help you spot Health and Safety threats; giving you the chance to address and resolve them before they are detected by others, rather than after.
- Transforms your operation from detection mode to prevention mode.
Some of the causes for incidents are out of the hands of people, such as bad weather conditions (lightning, floods, hail, etc.), other drivers on the road, etc. The unexpected is hard to analyse but the expected is easy. Incident causes and hazards must be analysed, and precautions taken to prevent their recurrence.
We can help you to implement the ISO 45001 Management System whatever your size, sector or location.
