ISO 45001
ISO 45001 is an internationally recognized standard that defines the fundamental principles for implementing Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems and is applicable to all businesses, regardless of size or activity.
An Occupational Health and Safety Management System helps develop a safe and healthy work environment by providing a framework that allows for:
- Regular identification and control of health and safety risks,
- Reduction of the likelihood of workplace accidents,
- Compliance with health and safety legislation,
- Improvement of the overall performance of the business.
Certification according to the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard provides a business with the following benefits:
- Reduction in the number of accidents,
- Reduction in staff absence and related costs,
- Demonstration of legal and regulatory compliance,
- Demonstration to interested parties (e.g., customers) of its commitment to health, safety, and protection of its personnel and facilities,
- Continuous improvement: Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems are designed to be fully integrated into a comprehensive management system that includes both quality and health and safety issues. Certification of integrated systems leads to cost reduction and increased efficiency.
