ISO 45001 sets out the requirements for an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS).
It is designed to help organisations:
- Identify and control health and safety risks
- Reduce workplace incidents and ill health
- Improve overall safety performance
- Demonstrate compliance and best practice
- Achieve certification to an internationally recognised standard
The standard follows a Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) model, supporting continuous improvement.
LCE Workplace Safety and an increasing number of organisations understand that good safety and health is more than a benefit to workers – it is a core business value and a cornerstone of a civilised society.
There is an increase in alignment between the various disciplines that apply and provides an opportunity for organisations applying such standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001) to integrate them, if they so wish.
