Occupational Health & Safety

Occupational Health & Safety – ISO 45001

ISO 45001 replaces the British OHSAS 18001 standard. The objective of this internationally recognized standard is to help businesses prevent accidents and effectively manage health and safety in the workplace.

Occupational accidents and illnesses not only affect worker health and safety, but also have a major impact on the organisation.

Key Benefits of ISO 45001:

• Enhanced company image through a demonstration of corporate social responsibility
• Improved management of incidents and a subsequent reduction in lost time incidents
• Reduced insurance premiums and general cost savings related to health and safety incidents
• Reduced absenteeism and turnover rates
• Improved communication with overseas suppliers, clients and partners

ISO 45001 can apply to any company, regardless of its size or sector. The standard is particularly aimed at companies wanting to:

• Minimise risks to staff and other stakeholders through the implementation of an internationally recognised health and safety management system
• Maintain and constantly improve on performance levels in the area of health and safety
• Adjust all operations to comply with the health and safety policies set out in this international standard
