With ISO 45001 other aspects of worker health and safety can be integrated such as wellness/wellbeing and may be required by local/state legal requirements. The ISO 45001 standard does not specifically address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impact. The ISO 45001 standard’s primary goal is to eliminate or minimize the risk of harm to people.
Implementing ISO 45001
Organizations can ensure that their people are safer and healthier when implementing the ISO 45001 standard. A company’s OH&S management system provides a systematic set of processes that support its sustainability initiatives and can increase profitability for the organization.
The ISO 45001 standard is appropriate for any size or type of organization, even those with low-risk products and environments. ISO 45001 is designed to be integrated into the company management processes and can easily be integrated with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and other ISO standards.
Because ISO 45001 uses the organization and structure as ISO 9001; companies can use the risk-based approach that is common to successful organizations to manage their business risks in addition to their OH&S risks.
Taking a proactive stand to reinforce an organization’s commitment to improving its OH&S performance shows care, compassion and concern for the people in the organization.
