ISO 45001 CERTIFICATION: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Employers have a responsibility to protect their workers from work-related injury and ill health, but good performance goes beyond legal requirements.
Consumers expect greater social responsibility from businesses and any injury or fatality related to Occupational Health & Safety risks is extremely costly both to the organisation and to society. Integrating an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) at the heart of business strategy is key to securing public confidence and the international ISO 45001 standard supports organisations of all types and sizes in doing that.

IS THE ISO 45001 STANDARD MANDATORY?
No, ISO 45001 certification is not mandatory. It is a voluntary standard that organisations can choose to implement and be certified against.

-
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ISO 45001 CERTIFICATION?
Organisations of all sizes may benefit from ISO 45001 certification for a number of reasons including confidence of legal and regulatory compliance, improved health and performance, reduced legal and financial risks, enhanced reputation and better employee engagement.

WHO BENEFITS FROM ISO 45001 WORKPLACE HEALTH & SAFETY CERTIFICATION?

WHAT DID ISO 45001:2018 REPLACE?
ISO 45001 replaced the OHSAS 18001 standard as the international occupational health and safety (OHS) management system standard. OHSAS 18001 was widely used by organisations around the world, but it was not developed or published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
