ISO45001 standard

ISO45001 is a standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems published in March 2018. The goal of ISO 45001 is to reduce occupational injuries and illnesses.

This standard is based on OHSAS 18001, conventions and guidelines of the International Labor Organization including ILO OSH 2001 and national standards.

The ISO45001 standard is an international standard that specifies the requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, with guidance for its use, to enable an organization to improve its OH&S performance in preventing injury and improving health. forgive The ISO45001 standard is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and nature. The ISO45001 standard enables an organization to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as the health and well-being of workers, through the OH&S management system. However, it should be noted that an organization may be bound by applicable legal requirements to handle such cases.

Benefits of implementing the ISO45001 standard

  • Formulation and implementation of OH&S policy and OH&S objectives
  • Creating systematic processes that consider its “context” and take into account its risks and opportunities and other legal and other requirements.
  • determining the OH&S risks associated with its activities; Seek to eliminate them, or put controls in place to minimize their potential effects
  • Establishing operational controls to manage OH&S risks and statutory and other requirements
  • Increase awareness of OH&S risks
  • Assessing OH&S performance and trying to improve it, by taking appropriate actions
  • Ensuring the active role of workers in OH&S matters
  • Together, these measures ensure that an organization’s reputation as a safe place to work is promoted and can have more direct benefits, such as:
  • Improving its ability to respond to regulatory compliance issues
  • Reducing the overall costs of incidents
  • Reducing downtime and operational disruption costs
  • Reducing the cost of insurance premiums
  • Reducing absenteeism and employee turnover rates
  • Identification to achieve an international standard (which in turn may influence customers who are concerned about their social responsibilities)

What organizations implement the ISO45001 standard?

The simple answer is all organizations. As long as your organization has people working on its behalf, or who may be affected by its activities, then taking a systematic approach to health and safety management will bring benefits. This standard can be used by low-risk activities as well as by high-risk and large complex organizations. While this standard requires that OH&S risks are addressed and controlled, a risk-based approach to the OH&S management system is also considered, to ensure that: a) be effective and b) improve to meet the changing “text” of an organization. This risk-based approach is compatible with how the organization manages the risks of its other “businesses” and therefore encourages the integration of standard requirements into the overall management processes of the organization.

The relation of ISO45001 standard with other standards

ISO 45001 follows the high-level structure approach applied to other ISO management system standards such as (ISO 9001 Quality Management) and (ISO 14001 Environment). In developing the standard, attention has been paid to the content of other international standards (such as OHSAS 18001 or “Guidelines of the International Labor Organization – Efficiency”) and national standards, as well as to ILO international labor standards and conventions (ILSs).

Those adopting this standard, after publication, must find its requirements consistent with other standards. This can allow a relatively easy migration using the OH&S management system standard using ISO 45001, as well. It provides the possibility of coordination and integration with the requirements of other ISO management system standards in the overall management processes of your organization.

Result:

To survive in today’s competitive global market, organizations must proactively manage all types of business-related risks, and occupational health and safety is no exception. ISO 45001 creates a new incentive for health and safety measures in organizations and will help improve the safety of employees and contractors. This translates into additional opportunities to protect and promote worker health and performance, as well as sustainably improve employee motivation
