HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(ISO 45001) CERTIFICATION

Businesses face growing compliance demands related to workplace-related illnesses and accidents. ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management System certification by Bureau Veritas supports organizations in proactively preventing work-related injury and ill health.

Consumer expectations for social responsibility are greater than ever. Injury and fatalities related to Occupational Health & Safety risks are extremely costly to society. Securing public confidence means placing a health and safety management system at the heart of a sound business strategy.

ISO 45001 is the new international certification standard in Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). Adoption of the standard supports you in implementing a comprehensive approach to occupational health and safety, or in improving upon an existing OHSMS. Achieving ISO 45001 certification from Bureau Veritas underscores your organization’s commitment to protect employees worldwide.

Key benefits

ISO 45001, a complete approach to workplace occupational health and safety

The ISO 45001 standard provides more detailed planning requirements than its predecessor, OHSAS 18001. The new standard expands its scope beyond physical safety to encompass the psychological dangers of burnout, harassment and stress-related illness. It also includes less obvious hazards such as repetitive strain injuries and back pain common in office environments.

Worker participation to enhance effectiveness

A significant new concept is the role of workers in identifying potential health and safety hazards at work. This may take the form of a representative team to ensure health and safety risks are identified at all levels of the organization. Every clause incorporates risk-based thinking to encourage proactive action aimed at reducing workplace injuries and fatalities.

High-Level Structure creates synergy with other standards

ISO 45001 certification requirements follow the same High-Level Structure as other ISO management system standards, streamlining the implementation of several certification standards simultaneously. It also aligns with existing certification standards such as the International Labour Organization OSH Guidelines and ILO International Labour Standards and Conventions.
