New International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
The world’s first occupational health and safety international standard is currently being developed. It will help your organization provide a safe and healthy workplace for your workers and other people, prevent deaths, work-related injury and ill-health as well as continually improve OH&S performance.
NOW AVAILABLE - ISO/DIS 45001 Draft International Standard
ISO has released the official Draft International Standard for Public Comment (DPC). You can now explore the standard in detail and familiarize yourself with it.
You can comment on the individual clauses via the BSI Draft Review site or explore it and its requirements in more detail if you purchase a copy.
What happens next?
The draft has been shared with all ISO national members and they will review and provide feedback. The next ISO committee meeting will be held in May 2016 where all comments will be reviewed. The final standard is scheduled for publishing later this year.
What are the anticipated benefits of ISO/DIS 45001?
ISO/DIS 45001 brings occupational health and safety management and continual improvement into the heart of an organization. This new standard is an opportunity for organizations to align their strategic direction with their OH&S management system. In addition, there is an increased focus on improving occupational health and safety performance.
Our customers tell us they get multiple benefits as a result of implementing and adopting occupational health and safety management systems, such as:
• Reduce work related injuries, ill health and death
•Eliminate or minimize OH&S risks
• Improve OH&S performance and effectiveness
• Demonstrate corporate responsibility and meet supply chain requirements
• Protect brand reputation
• Motivate and engage staff through consultation and participation
