ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management

 

In 2021/2022 565,000 workers in the UK sustained non-fatal injuries at work.

In 2022/2023 135 workers were killed in work-related accidents.

On average 36.8 million working days are lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury.

 

Achieving the ISO 45001 certification allows you to demonstrate that your business operates a best-practice Occupational Health and Safety Management System – reducing the likelihood of accidents and breaches of legislation, as well as improving your organisation’s overall performance.

 

The ISO Occupational Health & Safety Management Standard reduces workplace risks to improve employee safety accidents.

​

This Standard surpasses many existing health and safety standards because it has been developed by a committee of occupational health and safety experts. It takes into account other international standards in this area such as OHSAS 18001, the International Labour Organization’s ILO-OSH Guidelines, various national standards and the ILO’s international labour standards and conventions. This makes it one of the most valuable Health and Safety Management Systems available to date.
