How it works?
It sets out the policies and procedures you need to prevent work related injury and ill health to workers and to provide safe and healthy workplaces.
ISO 45001 helps you identify your objectives and determine the processes and resources required to manage OH&S risks and opportunities. This is done by implementing an Operational Health & Safety Management System (OH&SMS).

How does ISO 9001 do this?
You may already have a number policies and procedures in place to help manage your OHS risks.
However, making sure that everybody is aware of your policies and that everyone follows them in the same way, can sometimes be difficult to manage.
With the ISO 45001 Standard, you will have robust framework to help you define, document, monitor, review and update your occupational health and safety processes, ensuring they are consistently applied.
