The aim of the occupational health and safety standard is to establish transparent and effective processes that lead to a high level of safety in health and safety at work. The core areas include work policy, employee consultation and participation, hazard identification and risk assessment, as well as risk management. In addition, a focus is on legal subjects relating to occupational health and safety.
ISO 45001 is an internationally recognized standard for the use of an effective occupational health and safety (OHS) management system. The standard helps companies to identify work-related risks to employees in the form of damage to health, accidents and injuries, and to prevent these through the use of preventive measures. Companies can be certified according to ISO 45001.
The ISO 45001 standard can be used by companies and organizations of all sizes and industries. Thus, even small organizations, public authorities or municipal administrations can benefit from the standard. Occupational health and safety affects every single employee in the company. By complying with the requirements of ISO 45001, companies or organizations ensure reliable safety in the workplace.
