What is ISO 45001: 2018 certification?
The ISO 45001 certification is for occupational health and safety management systems.
The certification provides a framework for organizations to manage risks and improve health and safety performance. That framework includes policies, objectives, planning, implementation, operation, auditing and reviewing.
ISO 45001 uses a “Plan-Do-Check-Act” methodology that helps manage health and safety risks at a location. Key elements of the certification include leadership commitment, worker participation, hazard identification, emergency planning, incident investigation and risk assessment.
By adopting this framework, a business shows employees and external stakeholders that the organization is committed to worker health, safety and well-being. This in turn boosts reputation, morale and retaining employees.
