What Is ISO 45001:2018?
ISO 45001:2018 provides the framework and technical specification for creating a compliant OH&S management system. It allows organisations to protect their employees better, adopt effective health and safety processes and policies, and help ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
Successful implementation and audit mean organisations can achieve the internationally recognised ISO 45001 certification, developed by the International Organization for Standardization. It is the third most popular ISO standard, with 62,889 sites globally achieving certification.
ISO 45001:2018 awareness training helps eliminate workplace hazards, with benefits including improved worker health and wellbeing, reduced lost productivity costs, and enhanced reputation with third parties.
