ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Healthy & Safety Management System
ISO 45001 certification specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, with guidance for its use, to enable an organization to proactively improve its OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health. ISO 45001 certification in Lahore focuses on the identification, elimination, and continual improvement of hazards and risks within the work environment. The OH & S management system methodology is based on planning for hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk prevention and control. The ISO 45001 Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) incorporates ISO management system elements to address these risks.
Many organizations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) as a part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation and protect their workforce. An OHSMS promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows organizations to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.
ISO 45001 is the internationally recognized assessment specification for occupational health and safety management systems. It was developed by a selection of leading trade bodies, international standards and certification bodies to address a gap where no third-party certifiable international standard exists.
Goals of ISO 45001:2018
As with the other safety management consensus standards, the goals of ISO 45001 are to provide guidance for the development of a framework where injuries, property damage, and other loss causing incidents can be mitigated. The stated goals of ISO 45001 are:
- Develop an OH&S policy
- Have leadership demonstrate their commitment to safety
- Establish systematic processes for safety management
- Conduct hazard identification efforts
- Create operational safety controls
- Increase awareness and knowledge for employees about safety.
- Evaluate OH&S performance and develop plans to improve continuously
- Establish the necessary competencies
- Create and foster an OH&S culture within the organization
- Ensure employees participate fully and meaningful in the safety process
- Meet all legal and regulatory requirements
Benefits of implementing ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety:
Similarly to other management system standards, ISO 45001 emphasizes effectiveness, efficiency and continual improvement. Organizations will have a wide range of benefits from using this standard, including:
- Globalization:ISO 45001 puts your organization in an elite category of businesses, as it is an internationally recognized standard.
- Improvement in business performance:The implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System based on ISO 45001 reduces workplace illnesses and injuries, and, in turn, increases productivity.
- Best practice creation:It provides consistency and establishes “best practices” for occupational health and safety throughout the organization.
- Hazard & risk identification:Conducting risk assessments in a systematic manner, improve the quality of the assessment.
- Lower insurance premiums:Having a recognized system in place provides an apron for attracting lower insurance premiums.
- Improvements in efficiency:The implementation of an OH&S Management System contributes to the reduction of accident rates, absenteeism levels, and downtime, all of which improve the efficiency levels of internal operations.
- Establishment of a safe working environment:Promotes the safety of all persons being affected by the organization’s activities.
- Monitoring & measurement:Promotes management oversight through the provision of key performance indicators (KPI’s) in the measurement of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System performance levels.
- Focus:A culture that focuses on the “prevention of problems” rather than on the “detection of problems” is much more effective and rewarding to employees.
- Continual improvement:Encourages continual improvement, e.g. the adoption of the “zero accident” concept.
