      ISO 45001

      What is ISO 45001?

      This is the first international standard produced for the management of occupational safety and health 

      It was created by an international committee of specialists to address global variations in approach and health and safety culture and to standardise safety management regardless of location.

      Based on the Annex SL framework, it integrates seamlessly with other ISO management systems, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 27001:2015.

      This means that organisations can harmonise their different systems and develop an Integrated Management System. This can save you time, ensure you develop a holistic approach to business efficiency and reduce duplication. This is something that PHSC specialises in to help you save time, trouble and cost when developing your systems. 

      Why does your business require ISO 45001?

      With ISO 45001, the onus will no longer be on the Health and Safety Manager to ensure compliance. The standard requires much more buy-in from senior managers (top management).

      The standard requires greater employee contribution too. This ensures that no one person is overloaded with responsibility and everyone plays their part.

      Ownership of health and safety management in all parts of the business is a key part of developing an effective health and safety culture and can springboard an organisation’s strategy to improve health and safety standards.

      ISO 45001 gives more focus on a risk-based approach to health and safety management. This helps businesses to prioritise more effectively, allocate resources where they are most needed and develop efficiencies in their routine and non-routine operations.

      Integration of the occupational health and safety management system (OH&S) into your wider business processes helps to reduce duplication of time, effort and cost.

      ISO 45001 - Occupational Health and Safety

      There were over 142 fatal accidents in the UK alone during 2020/21 and this was despite many organisations being in lockdown.  The emotional costs to those involved cannot be quantified. In addition, there are the legal, financial and reputation costs to consider for your organisation suffering a serious incident or fatality.  Some workers’ lives are never the same again after an accident and the impact on others involved can be major. 

      Standards in other countries are varied and this is problematic for those organisations whose business is spread to more than one country. Having a system accredited or aligned to this standard brings consistency in approach, regardless of where your business is based.
