ISO 45001 is an international standard that defines requirements for an occupational health and safety management system. This standard establishes guidelines for risk management and HSE performance improvement.
The standard defines the objectives, criteria for planning, implementation, operation, audit and review. Key elements include leadership, employee participation, hazard identification and risk assessment, legal and regulatory compliance, contingency planning, incident investigation and continuous improvement.
ISO 45001 applies to the systematic management of health and safety risks. This standard also applies to all organizations, regardless of type and size, and can be integrated with other ISO management system standards.
Implementing ISO 45001 provides significant value to organizations looking to reduce workplace incidents and demonstrate their commitment to HSE. The fact that a company has achieved this standard shows that the organization cares about the health, safety and well-being of its employees.
