International Certification Body in ISO Standards
ISO 45001:2018
WHAT IS ISO 45001?
The Occupational Health and Safety Management System standard is aimed at enabling organizations to manage occupational health and safety risks, as well as to improve the performance of the measures taken in this area and integrate other aspects of employee health and well-being.
The implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System is a strategic decision for a company to boost its sustainability and increase its profitability and, simultaneously, to strengthen the safety of its employees.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING ISO 45001 CERTIFIED?
Implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System will improve the company’s performance in different ways:
- Developing systematic processes that consider the context of the organization and take into account risks, opportunities and the local legal framework.
- Determining the risks associated with the activities inherent to the company, so that they can be reduced and, as far as possible, eliminated.
- Establishing operational controls for risk management, based on local legislation.
- Increasing the identification of Occupational Health and Safety risks.
- Ensuring that workers take active roles in this Management System.
Taking into account these activities will allow the company’s prestige to increase and, therefore, obtain direct benefits such as:
- It will improve its capacity to respond to unforeseen events.
- Incident costs will be reduced.
- You will reduce absence indicators due to injuries and incidents.
- You will gain international recognition.
