ISO 45001 is one of the Universal Standard occupational health and safety management systems that provide a framework for worker safety.

Unfortunately, thousands of workers waste their lives every day to preventable cases of hazardous working environment conditions. Every day, more than 7,600 workers die from work-related diseases or accidental injuries, which indicate 2.7 million deaths worldwide each year. The burden of occupational injuries and illnesses is critical, both for employers and the more extensive economy, resulting in losses from staff absence, early retirements and rising insurance premiums.

ISO 45001 health and safety certification has been developed to mitigate any factors that could cause irreparable harm to employees and businesses. It is by a committee of occupational health and safety specialists and follows other nonexclusive management system framework methodologies such as ISO QMS 9001 and ISO EMS 14001. It depended on earlier global standards in this area like OHSAS 18001, the Global Labour Organization’s ILO-OSH standards, different national guidelines and the ILO’s universal labour standards and conventions.

According to multiple health and safety professionals, including experts who worked on the ISO 45001 committees and ISO represents the landmark breakthrough. Globally, for the first time, organizations of all sizes would now be able to get to a single framework that provides them with a consistent path to improve better and more effective occupational health and safety policies.

Particularly designed for senior administration, ISO 45001 standards has the ultimate aim of helping the organization provides a safe and healthy workplace for their workers and visitors. The objective of ISO 45001 can be fulfilled by monitoring factors that could probably lead to damage, illness and even death in extreme situations. Therefore, ISO 45001 is concerned to eliminate any causes that are destructive or pose a danger to the physical and mental well-being of the labourers.
