ISO 45001 – Occupational health and safety

Who can be certified by ISO 45001? 

  
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management systems with ISO 45001 provide a framework for managing risks and opportunities, preventing injury and health impairment to workers and providing safe, healthy workplaces. It is critically important for organisations to eliminate hazards and minimise risks by taking effective preventive and protective measures. 

Any organisation can implement and certify a management system under ISO 45001, regardless of its size or sector of activity.

• Less absenteeism and lower turnover rate among workers
• Easier communication with suppliers, customers and partners in other countries
