Accreditation/Standard Information
The highly anticipated ISO 45001:2023 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System standard is the first global framework for workplace safety. It provides a structured approach to improving health and safety, reducing occupational risks, and enhancing employee well-being - enabling organizations to proactively strengthen their OHS performance.
ISO 45001 certification applies to all organizations, regardless of size, industry, or location. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing ISO management systems, it follows the same high-level structure as ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), making it easier for companies to align multiple standards.
By adopting a risk-based approach, ISO 45001 ensures effective controls and continual improvement in response to a changing business environment. This international standard replaces OHSAS 18001 and helps organizations achieve legal compliance while reducing workplace accidents.
Achieving ISO 45001:2023 certification demonstrates that your business operates a best-practice Occupational Health and Safety Management System - reducing risks, preventing incidents, and enhancing your company’s reputation, compliance, and operational resilience.
Here are some benefits of using the ISO 45001 framework:
✅ Establish Controls to Ensure Legal Compliance
ISO 45001 helps organisations establish effective operational controls that address occupational health and safety (OHS) risks, opportunities, and legal compliance requirements. This ensures your business meets both regulatory and international standards.
✅ Increase Health and Safety Awareness
The ISO 45001 management system increases employee awareness of workplace hazards and promotes active participation in health and safety practices, reducing risks and creating a safer workplace culture.
✅ Enhance Your Reputation
Achieving ISO 45001 certification demonstrates commitment to workplace safety and international best practices, enhancing your reputation with clients, stakeholders, and partners who value corporate social responsibility (CSR).
✅ Reduce Absenteeism
By proactively managing workplace health and safety risks, you can better protect employees, leading to reduced absenteeism, lower turnover rates, and improved productivity.
✅ Reduce Insurance Premiums
Demonstrating compliance with ISO 45001 standards shows insurers that your business operates an effective occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS), which can result in lower insurance premiums and long-term cost savings.
