ISO 45001

What is ISO 45001:2018?

ISO 45001 is an international standard that contains the requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system.

The standard follows the management system structure defined in Annex SL. The structure includes:

Context of the organisation
Leadership
Planning
Support
Operation
Performance evaluation
Improvement

Why should my organisation implement a OHSAS management system?

Many companies see the introduction of an OHSS as a major step forward in complying with health and safety legislation, improving OH&S performance, and improving their brand perception. Others simply react to customer and contractual requirements. Benefits of implementing an OHSAS that meets the requirements of ISO 45001 include:

Improved health and safety performance
Improved employee participation in H&S matters
Improved brand perception

Why should my organisation apply for certification?

Satisfactory assessment of your management system leads to the award of a certificate of registration. The value of a certificate of registration and its credibility depends on the certification body and the status that have in the market place.
