ISO 45001
ISO 45001 – previous known as OHSAS 18001 – specifies and certifies the requirements for the occupational health and safety management system. It specifies guidance for its use which helps organizations improve their processes to prevent work-place injury or health hazards.
The standard designates the framework for an organization identified with wellbeing and security of its personnel and stakeholders. It considers prevention as a technique towards wellbeing & security of employees. This certification demonstrates that your organization is focused on the development of a healthy and safe working environment by addressing issues such as injury prevention and defining clear employee responsibilities.
