Occupation Health & Management Systems (OHSMS)
ISO 45001 Occupation Health & Management Systems

There were earlier standards for OHS management systems. OHSAS, a group of interested parties first released its 18001 standard in 1999. The standard was updated in 2007. In 2018, ISO superseded this standard with a new ISO standard, ISO 45001.

ISO 45001 was developed by a diverse standards committee, the same as other standards to help all types of organizations reduce, and where possible eliminate injury and illness.

ISO 45001 management systems primarily take a preventative approach to occupational health and safety by:
  • Establishing the context of your organization as it relates to health and safety, determining risk and identifying actions to address the risks
  • Identifying health and safety hazards applicable to the organizations operations
  • Assessing the level of risk associated with the hazard
  • Identifying controls to minimize risks
  • Identifying sources of data to monitor, measure, report and analyze
  • Investigation and taking action in case of nonconformance, injury, or illness
  • Identifying corrective actions from non-conformances and incidents to prevent further incident
Furthermore, there is a focus on:
  • Communication
  • Legal compliance
  • Emergencies
  • Training and competency

As with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, it is good management practice to develop written occupational health and safety policies and procedures. Written policies and procedures are effective for helping an organization plan, communicate, check, enforce, and continually improve so that an organization is better able ensure the health and safety of its employees and others affected by its operations.

If understood and implemented correctly, an ISO 45001 safety management system could easily pay for itself financially. Consider the cost of injury, illness, legalities, negative press, and stress that come from poor health and safety, and consider the benefit that comes from taking a planned and informed approach to safety management. Do it for your employees and for peace of mind. Both you and your employees will be grateful you did.

Achieving certification to ISO 45001 demonstrates to others your commitment to health and safety and can be effectively used in marketing campaigns.
