What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 enables organisations to manage and improve their health and safety risks and performance.
This occupational health and safety management system incorporates core organisation processes and provides the opportunity for senior management to be more involved. It also stresses the need for worker participation in the functioning of an occupational health and safety management system.
What are the benefits of ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 ensures your organisation has a management system in place to reduce health and safety risks within the workplace – protecting workers from potential harm and increasing profitability at the same time. Other benefits of ISO 45001 include:
- Reduced overall costs of incidents
- Reduced risk in downtime and the costs of disruption to operations
- Reduced cost of insurance premiums
- Reduced absences and employee turnover rate
- Improved ability to respond to legal and compliance requirements
- Recognition for achieving an international benchmark
