ISO 45001 Certification Management Standard

Make your employees’ health and safety a priority.  Compliancehelp offers consultation to achieve ISO 45001 certification.  ISO 45001 provides a structured health and safety management system standard to help your organization.  ISO 45001 is universal and can be applied to any workplace regardless of industry.

Why Achieve the ISO 45001 Certification for Your Business?

When your organization is ISO 45001 certified, it establishes your commitment to the health and welfare of your management and employees.  Your certification provides credibility to external parties, including clients and stakeholders.

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 In 2018, ISO superseded this standard with a new ISO standard, ISO 45001.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 9001

Best practices that the ISO 45001 Standard promotes are:

  • 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 organization's 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 incidents

To get the ISO 45001 certification standard, your business needs to consider the following aspects:

Context of the Organization:

Firstly, the organizations need to understand its context with respect to the standard. They shall recognize all the internal factors as well as external issues that either influence the purpose of the OHS or affect the objectives to be achieved by the OHS. The factors also include the expectations or needs of the different interested bodies of the organization. Understanding the context helps in establishing the structure of the OHS and implementing it.

Leadership and Commitment:

his requirement highlights the significant role of the top management members in the implementation and maintenance of the OHS. Their participation ensures that the OHS gets a definite direction in your organization and employees become accountable for its effectiveness. They will define an environmental policy, set of objectives, and communicate specific responsibilities to the employees.

Planning:

This section highlights the need to evaluate the organization’s current environmental framework and potential risks to determine the objectives of the OHS. This requirement also needs you to analyze the key environmental interactions of your organization, as well as legal environmental obligations.

Support:

This requirement implies your organization should be prepared with all the resources necessary for implementing, maintaining, and improving the OHS. The resources also include communication, awareness, employee competence, and documented information.

Operation:

This section calls for organizations to determine, implement, and improve the processes and practices that are required for meeting the purpose of OHS. It also includes deciding the actions for responding to emergencies.

Performance Evaluation:

Fulfilling this requirement shall ensure that your OHS performs efficiently and helps your organization progress towards the proposed objectives. To evaluate the performance of the OHS, your organization should monitor the processes to identify if any of its aspects need improvement.

Improvement:

The OHS shall also be reviewed periodically to identify nonconformity issues and any other weaknesses so that you can take corrective actions to resolve them. Constantly reviewing the conformity of OHS ensures that it is improved in the long run.

Involvement of the workers

If your employees are not aware and participate, then the certification might not work effectively. The clauses ask for staff proactiveness, awareness, and active involvement.

By attaining the ISO 45001 certification, your business may see the following potential benefits:

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 to 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.

Getting started with the ISO 45001 certification procedure might seem complex to you, but our expert ISO 45001 consultants will make it easier for you with trouble-free steps.

Consultation:

In the first step, we would discuss with you the details of the ISO 45001 requirements and provide consultation to help you understand their relevance in your business and processes. Our consultants would then help you plan the next steps to meet the criteria for successful certification within a decided timeframe.

Document Your OHS:

Our consultants will help you determine the scope and objectives of your OHS. Following that, they would evaluate your existing processes to determine how they will interact with the OHS. Subsequently, they would help you to prepare a document of the processes and OHS, as required by the standard. The document establishes how your employees should execute the processes to adhere to the standard’s requirements.

Implementation of OHS:

Once the documentation is complete, you need to provide training to the employees to ensure the OHS is practically put into place. Training is necessary to ensure the system is efficiently integrated throughout your organization and there is consistency in the role of employees.

Internal Audit:

Our team also has expert auditors who will analyze your processes and OHS to find out any inconsistencies and nonconformities. They would then provide recommendations to correct or fix those identified issues to ensure your business is fully compliant and certification ready.

Certification:

You need to apply for certification to a certification body. They would perform an external audit and get your business certified after affirming the compliance of your OHS. Our consultants will help to maintain your certification in the long run by periodically following up and performing surveillance audits.
