ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System
The internationally recognised specification OHSMS was developed in response to market demand for a health and safety management system standard against which organisations may be assessed and certified. It has become increasingly apparent that companies want to manage health and safety in the same way as other core business activities.
The implementation of a management system that can be audited, which extends beyond compliance with minimum legal requirements, enables organisations to take action to improve health and safety within the business environment. OHSMS is a means to control and mitigate risk and subsequently minimise harm to people linked with your business activities.
Assessment and certification to OHSMS demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to continual improvement in health and safety performance and to compliance with legislation through the maintenance of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS).
