Occupational health and safety management is also referred to as health and safety management or health and safety management. The ISO 45001 standard addresses occupational health and safety management with requirements for how the organization identifies, manages and improves the health and safety conditions in the company.
Within the framework of the ISO 45001 standard, the company’s management and employees must conduct a health and safety survey to identify significant health and safety risks related to the company’s activities. Based on the identified risk factors, a risk assessment is prepared, where the occupational health and safety management scores the probability and consequence of occupational health and safety impacts. The company must formalize agreements regarding the working environment and build routines where management considers health and safety impacts when purchasing new machinery and buildings or when rebuilding.
The health and safety management must formulate a binding health and safety policy that expresses the company’s attitudes and ambitions with regard to the working environment. Finally, ambitious health and safety goals are drawn up, where the company commits to continuously improve and monitor the health and safety situation.
The company must conduct regular ISO 45001 audits and if the company wants a certified system, the effectiveness of the OHS management system must be monitored periodically by an independent ISO 45001 auditor.
Implementing occupational health and safety management can help your company comply with statutory health and safety requirements and prevent accidents, incidents and incidents. Furthermore, the company can achieve an improved work environment, which can be measured by increased efficiency and decreased absence rates.
The company can implement occupational health and safety management without certification, but with certification, the company is exempt from OSH screening.
