ISO 45001:2018 is an internationally recognized standard that provides a framework for organizations to manage occupational health and safety (OH&S) risks and opportunities. It aims to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses, provide safe and healthy workplaces, and continually improve OH&S performance.
This standard is applicable to any organization, regardless of its size, type, or nature, and is designed to help organizations systematically manage their OH&S responsibilities. It enables organizations to proactively improve their OH&S performance by identifying hazards, assessing risks, implementing controls, and continually improving their OH&S management system.
The ISO 45001:2018 standard is built upon principles that ensure a robust and effective approach to occupational health and safety management:
Context of the Organization: Understanding the issues that can affect the OH&S management system and relevant interested parties.
Leadership and Worker Participation: Top management demonstrating commitment and active involvement of workers in OH&S decision-making.
Planning: Identifying OH&S hazards and risks, opportunities, legal and other requirements, and setting OH&S objectives and plans.
Support: Providing resources, competence, awareness, communication, and documented information for the OH&S management system.
Operation: Operational planning and control, managing change, procurement, and emergency preparedness and response.
Performance Evaluation: Monitoring, measurement, analysis, evaluation, internal audit, and management review of the OH&S management system.
Improvement: Addressing incidents, nonconformities, implementing corrective actions, and continual improvement of the OH&S management system.
Achieving ISO 45001:2018 certification offers numerous benefits, enhancing an organization's occupational health and safety performance, reputation, and operational efficiency:
Reduces occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, creating a safer working environment.
Minimizes the risk of legal and regulatory non-compliance, reducing potential fines and legal liabilities.
Enhances organizational reputation and demonstrates social responsibility to stakeholders.
Improves employee morale, engagement, and productivity through a safer and healthier workplace.
Potentially reduces insurance premiums by demonstrating proactive risk management.
Provides a structured approach to identifying hazards and controlling OH&S risks effectively.
Facilitates integration with other management systems (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001) for streamlined processes.
Strengthens an organization's competitive position, especially when tendering for contracts that require OH&S certification.
Drives continual improvement in OH&S performance through regular monitoring, measurement, and review.
