What is ISO 45001 certification?
ISO 45001 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. This is intended to improve the safety and health of both employees and other personnel.
Introduced in March 2018, ISO 45001 requirements marked a significant step forward in the global effort to improve health and safety management. It supersedes all previous occupational health and safety standards, including OHSAS 18001. TÜV SÜD’s ISO 45001 certification enables organisations to proactively improve injury prevention and reduce ill-health.
Why ISO 45001 certification is important
To survive in today’s competitive global marketplace, organisations must proactively manage all types of business risk. Occupational health and safety management is no exception. ISO 45001 delivers multiple opportunities to help improve employee and contractor safety. The protection and promotion of worker’s health and performance results in a sustainable improvement in employee motivation.
Although ISO 45001 was a completely new standard, its foundations already existed in its predecessor, OHSAS 18001. This means that companies that already actively apply an OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety management system can expect a smooth transition to ISO 45001.
