ISO 45001 - What You Need to Know

The burden of occupational injuries and diseases is significant, both for employers and the wider economy, resulting in losses from early retirements, staff absence and rising insurance premiums, not to mention overall worker productivity.

Over 6300 people die each day from work-related accidents or diseases - that’s nearly 2.3 million every year.  These are deaths that could and should have been prevented, and must be in the future. ISO 45001 was developed to do just that. 

ISO 45001 is the new standard for OSHA.  While it is in the early phases of roll out, most believe it will become the norm and it will important for companies to stay abreast of it. 

Here is a white paper from ISOfocus that will give you a very good recap of what it is, the differences from past systems, how to begin to use it, what you need to know, how it integrates with other systems and how it will be used.
