What is ISO 45001?
It is estimated that 340 million occupational accidents worldwide every year according to the International Labour Organisation. The impact of work-related fatalities, injuries or ill health can be overwhelming for any organisation and have negative effects such as reduced revenue, increased injury, ill health costs and result in an organisation closing. ISO45001 can be applied to any organisation who wishes to establish, implement and maintain an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management, to enable your organisation to provide a safe and healthy workplace by preventing work-related injury and ill health as well as proactively improving its OH&S performance.

Why should it be considered?
Implementing ISO 45001 can improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards, and minimise health and safety risks, take advantage of opportunities and address management system nonconformities associated with its activities.
ISO 45001 can help your organisation achieve its outcomes set within its OH&S management system and consistent within the Health and Safety Policy/Safety Statement, the intended outcomes of implementing an ISO 45001 management system include continual health and safety performance, meeting legal requirements and achieving health and safety objectives.
What impact will it have?
Increase in consistency and efficiency:
ISO 45001 allows your organisation to be built around best practice processes and procedures, this allows for this to be mirrored across the company and set a high standard for consistent risk management which will mean your organisation will be more efficient in every area.
Allows for proactive approach:
Implementing ISO 45001 helps organisations to have a proactive approach to risk opposed to a reactive approach when risk happens. The internal auditing system provides an ‘early warning system’ to help to spot potential threats to your organisations health and safety before the risk occurs.
Employee focus:
The health and safety management standard focuses on employee physical and mental well-being which will help improve staff morale and allow for continual improvement of safety and focus, which will also increase trust from the public, future employees, and potential clients.
