The ISO 45001:2018 solely focuses on the occupational health and safety management system of an organisation.This standard works towards eliminating the chance of any potential disease and injuries related to occupation.It also follows the structure of ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015, so that it is easy to integrate these standards in any organisation if it has already received the ISO 45001:2018 certification. The organisations that have already acquired the BS OHSAS 18001 certification can easily migrate to the ISO 45001. Although the ISO 45001:2018 is mainly based on the standards of OHSAS 18001, there are some differences in these two standards. The now-defunct OHSAS 18001 was mainly focused on managing the occupational health and safety hazards and issues related to it. However, the ISO 45001 primarily focuses on the interaction between the working environment and the organization. This helps to minimize or eliminate the chance of any hazard.The new ISO 45001:2018 standard is a process-based certification while the old OHSAS 18001 is a procedure-based certification. The first one focuses primarily on why the hazard happens rather than solely concentrating on the solution part. The OHSAS 18001 is not dynamic, but the new ISO 45001 truly is.
Besides addressing all the OH&S issues of any organisation, it also gives it the much-required confidence in safety management for efficient productivity and improved working condition for all the workers. The OHSAS 18001 certification primarily focuses on the occupational risk of any organization while the ISO 45001 focuses on both the risk and opportunities. By doing so, it not only eliminates the chance of future hazards and finds opportunities to improve the overall safety standard. OHSAS 18001 did not ever include the views of interested parties of any organization. However, the new ISO 45001:2018 contains all the aspects. With that inclusion, it not only creates the engagement of all the parties but also creates a better working environment.
Essentially, it is everyone’s job to support and protect a safe and healthy workplace. This is done by preventing injury, preventing ill health, reducing hazards and continually improving the OH&S performance. Around the world, organizations are becoming progressively concerned in achieving a safe and healthy workplace, often while delivering cost savings and demonstrating Good Stewardship and Good Corporate Citizenship. Organizations are choosing to implement OH&S ISO 45001 and obtain registration to become more competitive in the market. Many external parties are going to be concerned with an organization’s priorities, and want to make sure that they have an Occupational Health and Safety Management system in place. This will attract future employees, shareholders, suppliers, regulators and the community at large. An organization that has an effective OH&S management system will typically have safer and healthier workplaces, comply with regulations and meet customer expectations better than an organization that does not have an OH&S management system.
ISO 45001 allows companies and higher-ups to improve their OH&S management system to achieve a safe and reliable environment for their workers and contractors. Meeting the requirements ensures that you will watch for trends and evaluate potential risks. As an ISO 45001 certified organization, you will become proactive to try and mitigate the potential for serious risks. Organizations with great physical challenges such as oil refineries and factories have a greater chance for serious injury and therefore it is imperative that they have an active OH&S management system in place.
If your organization is ISO 45001 certified, you can reduce insurance premiums. By maintaining a proactive system for reducing hazardous environments in the workplace, insurance costs will lower.ISO 45001 certification will improve the organizations overall performance. When you decide to become ISO certified, you must be audited by a third party, and have continual internal audits. Audits are not to just find non-conformances, but they actively seek to improve inefficiencies, with the goal of making your organization more productive and improve performances
ISO 45001 improves your workplace and therefore improves employee satisfaction. When you make employee health and safety a priority it shows that you care about your personnel and this will create a cultural change and employee job satisfaction, knowledge, and participation.
