The objective of an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system is to noticeably reduce the risk of injury, accidents and work-related illness in organizations. The health and physical integrity of a company's employees are a mainstay of its success.
To further protect and promote employees' health, performance and safety, a new OH&S Management system standard - ISO 45001 - was launched in March 2018. ISO 45001 replaces OHSAS 18001, which has been in application since 2007. Organizations which currently hold OHSAS 18001 certification need to transition to ISO 45001 by March 2021 in order to meet the requirements of the new standard.
The OHSAS 18001 Certification Scheme is an occupational health and safety standard designed to enable organizations to control risks and improve performance in the area of OH&S. OHSAS 18001 places a proactive and preventative emphasis on risk-control factors by identifying and assessing the likelihood and severity of hazards in the workplace.
OHSAS 18001 is an essential management system for your business, along with quality, environment and other management systems. It will help your company reduce direct and indirect costs while preventing injuries in the workplace. By conforming to OHSAS 18001, your company safeguards its stakeholders – employees, suppliers and customers – from risk. Third-party certification will credibly demonstrate your organization’s implementation of a comprehensive system for ensuring health and safety in the workplace.
