ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Standard

 ISO 45001 is an international standard that lays out the criteria for an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management system, which aims to improve the safety and health of employees and other persons.

ISO 45001 can be used by any company, regardless of its size, nature, or activity. It applies to OH&S risks under the organization's control, considering elements such as the organization's operating environment and the needs and expectations of its employees and other stakeholders.

Occupational accidents claim the lives of more than 2.7 million people worldwide, according to the ISO and the International Labour Organization (ILO). Thousands of individuals die every day as a result of job hazards that could have been avoided. Furthermore, 374 million non-fatal injuries occur each year, resulting in four or more days off work. Many health and safety professionals, including members of the ISO committee, believe this is a turning point for the sector. For the first time worldwide, businesses of all sizes can now adopt a single framework that gives a clear path to building more rigorous occupational health and safety safeguards.

If you're interested in improving occupational health and safety, eliminating hazards (including system weaknesses), taking advantage of OH&S possibilities, and dealing with OH&S management system nonconformities related to your activities, ISO 45001 is for you.

As with other ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 adopts a high-level structural approach (background). When developing the standard, other international and national standards and the ILO's International Labour Standards and Conventions were considered (ILSs).Astute Business Certification is situated in Queensland and specializes in Safety ISO Certification on the Sunshine Coast. It is a member of Equal Assurance Pvt Ltd. We offer certificates in health and safety management (AS4801), quality management (ISO 45001), and environmental management (ISO 14001).

Beyond the risks to workers and other relevant interested parties, ISO 45001 does not cover issues such as product safety, property damage, or environmental implications. To systematically improve occupational health and safety management, ISO can be used whole or in part. Claims of conformance to this document, on the other hand, are not valid unless all of its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and met without exception.
