ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization that has published 21923 International Standards since its inception. These standards cover almost every industry, from technology, food safety, agriculture to healthcare.
Many organisations are familiar with the benefits of a management system. Whether it’s a quality, safety, or environmental management system, ensuring that your system is effective is essential. The application of standards such as the ISO family of standards can help benchmark your program is an effective way to help determine how well your system is performing. You do not necessarily need to be audited and accredited to the standard, but it can be helpful to implement or orient your management system to a standard.
There is currently a new standard being developed for Occupational Health and Safety management systems. ISO 45001 is intended to help organizations set up a framework to help their organization focus on managing their OH&S risks, and performance in a sustainable manner by proactively eliminating or mitigating hazards in the workplace. What are some of the main characteristics and benefits of 45001?
The ISO 45001 standard is scheduled for release in March 2018. If you’re interested in implementing an OH&S management system contact us for more information info@pacificsafety.ca .
