ISO 45001:2018
Occupational Health and Safety
ISO 45001 : 2018 is an International Standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, with guidance for its use, to enable an organisation to proactively improve its OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health.
ISO 45001 is intended to be applicable to any organisation regardless of its size, type and nature.
ISO 45001 allows an organization to integrate other aspects of health and safety through its OH&S management system, such as: B. Worker health/well-being; however, it should be noted that applicable legal requirements may also require organizations to address such issues.
Who Are the Intended Users of the Standard?
The simple answer is all organizations. Wherever your organization has employees working on its behalf or who may be affected by its activities, applying a systematic approach to health and safety management will benefit them.
The standard can be used by small, low-risk operations as well as high-risk and large complex organizations. While the standard calls for OH&S risks to be addressed and controlled, it also takes a risk-based approach to the OH&S management system itself to ensure that a) it is effective and b) it is improved to meet the changing “environment” that does justice to a organize. This risk-based approach is consistent with the way the organization manages other “business” risks, thus facilitating the integration of the standard’s requirements throughout the organization’s management processes.
How Does Iso 45001 Relate to Other Standards?
ISO 45001 follows the high-level structure approach that is being applied to other ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment).
In developing the standard, consideration has been given to the content of other international standards (such as OHSAS 18001 or the International Labour Organisation’s “ILO –OSH Guidelines”) and national standards, as well as to the ILO’s International Labour standards and conventions (ILSs).
Those adopting the standard, once it has been published, should find its requirements consistent with the other standards.
This will allow for a relatively easy migration from using an existing OH&S management system standard to using ISO 45001, and will also allow for the alignment and integration with the requirements of other ISO management system standards into their organisation’s overall management processes
ISO 45001 – Benefits
An ISO 45001 based OH&S management system will enable an organisation to improve its OH&S performance by:
In combination, these measures will ensure that an organisation’s reputation as a safe place to work will be promoted, and can have more direct benefits, such as:
