What is ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management?

There are growing compliance requirements from businesses regarding workplace-related accidents and illnesses. Bureau Veritas certifies ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management System. This certification helps organizations prevent work-related injuries and ill health.

Today’s consumers expect social responsibility. Occupational Health & Safety is extremely expensive. A sound business strategy must include a strong safety and health management program to win the public’s trust.

ISO 45001 has been adopted as the new international standard for occupational safety and health management systems (OHSMS). A standard is a tool that helps you to implement a holistic approach to occupational health & safety or to improve an existing OHSMS. Bureau Veritas ISO 45001 certification demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding employees all over the globe.

You can protect and enhance your most valuable asset, your people, by creating a safety and occupational health management system that will enable you to drive business excellence.

This new standard may bring the following benefits:

  • Increase organizational resilience with proactive risk prevention and continuous improvement
  • Stabilizing legal and regulatory compliance to reduce business losses
  • Demonstrates brand commitment by committing to safe, healthy, and sustainable work
  • One global system for occupational health and safety that is universally applicable to all businesses, no matter their size

Why ISO 45001 is a good choice for your company?

ISO 45001 was developed to prevent injury and illness in the workplace and promote safe and healthy work environments.

ISO 45001 is an internationally recognized standard. This standard transcends all social, political, and economic boundaries. This single standard can be used to manage occupational health safety and security in your company, regardless of whether you are a business or an individual.

Upgrading to ISO 45001 is possible.

This framework is great for anyone who is just starting to learn about occupational safety and health management.

How ISO 45001 supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goals?

Organizations that are committed and focused on sustainability are increasingly aligning their corporate strategy with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. ISO 45001 certification, which is an international occupational health safety management system, certifies that the organization is committed to ensuring fair work conditions, good health, and equal treatment. If you are looking to increase your ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), reputation, and send powerful messages to shareholders and other stakeholders, including employees, by implementing ISO 45001 and aligning with the SDGs, it is worth considering.

Who is 45001right for?

This standard is flexible, adaptable and can be used to manage occupational hazards and safety. It works well for many organizations including:

  • Large corporations and companies
  • Medium-sized and small companies
  • Public and not-for-profit organizations
  • Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as well as charities

The ISO 45001 standard offers more detailed planning requirements than OHSAS 18001, its predecessor. The new standard covers psychological hazards such as stress-related illness, harassment, burnout, and harassment. It also includes lesser-known hazards like repetitive strain injuries and back problems that are common to office workers.

WORKER CONTACT TO ENHANCE EFFECTIVENESS

It is important to recognize the importance of workers in identifying hazards that could pose a health or safety risk at work. This could be in the form of a representative team that helps to identify potential safety and health risks at every level of the organization. Each clause includes risk-based thinking to encourage proactive actions aimed at reducing workplace deaths and injuries.

HIGH-LEVEL STRUCTURE GENERATES SYNERGY OTHER STANDARDS

ISO 45001 certification requirements use the same High-Level Structure as other ISO management systems standard standards. This allows for the easier implementation of multiple certification standards simultaneously.
