ISO 45001:2018

What does ISO 45001 actually look like?

The ISO 45001 consists of eleven sections. The first three sections represent an introduction to the standard, its scope and normative references, and the other seven sections contain the requirements for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System. Here is what the seven main sections are about:

  • Section 4: Context of the organization.

Let the organization to determine its context in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, including interested parties and their needs and expectations. It also defines requirements for determining the scope of the OH&SMS, as well as general OH&SMS requirements.

 

  • Section 5: Leadership.

Demonstrates management’s ability of leadership and commitment to the OH&SMS, along with defining the occupational health & safety policy. The top management must also assign process owners with other roles and responsibilities.

 

  • Section 6: Planning.

The planning section defines requirements for addressing risks and opportunities, and the requirements for occupational risk analysis. This clause also includes requirements for hazard identification and assessment, determining legal and other requirements, OH&S objectives and plans for achieving them.

 

  • Section 7: Support.

Relates to the requirements for supporting processes and provisions of resources necessary for effective operation of the OH&SMS. It defines requirements for people, infrastructure, work environment, monitoring and measuring resources, competence, awareness, communication and documented information.

 

  • Section 8: Operation.

Considers the establishing operational controls to eliminate the occupational health and safety hazards, management of changes and emergency preparedness and response.

 

  • Section 9: Performance evaluation.

The purpose of the requirements placed in this clause is to provide the organization with mechanisms to determine the effectiveness of the QMS. It contains requirements for necessary monitoring and measuring, including performance evaluation, compliance obligation, internal audit and management review.

 

  • Section 10: Improvement.

The last section of the standard defines requirements for continual improvement of the OH&SMS, including requirements for managing nonconformities, incidents and corrective actions. These sections are based on a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, which uses these elements to implement change within the processes of the organization in order to drive and maintain improvements within the processes.

 

  • Benefits of ISO 45001:2018

Implementation of ISO 45001 brings benefits to the organization. All organizations, both large and small, that have already implemented OHSAS 18001 (which is predecessor of ISO 45001) are already large and still growing. ISO 45001 brings all the benefits of OHSAS 18001, with addition of some new ones. Here are just a few of these benefits:

 

  • Improve your image and credibility.

By assuring customers that you have a commitment to establish and maintain an occupational health and safety management system, you can enhance your image and market share by reducing the number of OH&S incidents on the workplace and sending a clear message that your organization takes care of its employees.

 

  • Improve cost control.

One improvement that all organizations are looking for is a reduction of costs. The OH&SMS can help with this by increase rating at insurance companies, while reducing occupational health and safety incidents that may lead to lawsuits and deterioration of the organization’s image.

 

  • Use evidence-based decision making.

By ensuring that you are using accurate data to make your decisions on what to improve, you can greatly increase the chances that your improvements will be successful the first time, rather than having several unsuccessful attempts. By using this data to track your progress, you can correct these improvement initiatives before they go “off the rails,” which can save costs and time.

 

  • Create a culture of continual improvement.

With continual improvement, you can work toward better processes and reduced occupational health and safety hazards in a systematic way, in order to improve your public image and potentially reduce your costs. When a culture of improvement is created, people are always looking for ways to make their processes better, which makes maintaining the OH&SMS easier.

 

  • Engage your people.

Given a choice between working for a company that shows care and concern for occupational health and safety and one that does not, most people would prefer the first one. By engaging your employees to reduce your occupational health and safety hazards, you can increase theirs focus and retention. In addition to the above-mentioned benefits, the transition from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001 brings:

  • Enhanced clarifications on OH&SMS issues
  • enhanced leadership involvement and worker participation in the OH&SMS
  • risk-based thinking for the OH&SMS, as well as for OH&S risks
  • alignment of the OH&S policy and objectives with the strategic direction of the organization
  • integration of the OH&SMS into the business processes of the organization
  • Language simplicity, common structure and terms.
