Why do businesses need ISO 45001:2018 standard?

With more than 40 versions of the OHSAS 18001 standard used worldwide today, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) decided, like with many previous national standards, to create one, universally adaptable standard that will incorporate and supersede all those former standards. This new standard has been named ISO 45001:2018.

ISO 45001 has been developed so that OHS Management can be more easily aligned with the management system approaches adopted by other ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. The ISO 45001 standard enjoyed input from a number of safety practitioner including the Institution of Occupational Health and Safety (IOSH) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

How the organisation can benefit from ISO45001:2018

  • Improved risk and hazard management by the identification of potential incidents and the implementation of controls and pro-active measures
  • Compliance with health and safety legislation by understanding how statutory and regulatory requirements impact the organization, its employees, interested parties and others
  • Improving an organizations ability to win more business, particularly where procurement specifications require certification as a condition to supply and PQQ requirements
  • Improved relationships by safeguarding the health and safety of staff, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders and interested parties
  • Cost savings by decreasing down-time through incidents, ill health and reducing costs associated with legal fees and compensation
  • Improving an organisation’s efficiency by reducing the risk of accidents and incidents leading to increased profitability
  • Minimising the risk of regulatory and liability fines and reducing the risk of non-compliance with legislation and subsequent costs/prosecution
  • Over the last decade customers are requiring organisations adopt stricter health and safety regulations and practices, making certification to ISO45001:2018 a greater necessity for the long-term viability of businesses and providing them with a competitive advantage and improved brand image
