Complying with health and safety standards can lead to improvements in productivity, reduced insurance costs, and can even be used to win business. Using software to manage the processes will also reduce the amount of time required to become and keep compliant.
The highly anticipated ISO 45001, when published in March in 2018, will become the world’s first international standard for occupational health and safety. It aligns with ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environment Management) and builds on OHSAS 18001 – a framework aimed at controlling risks.
The system is designed to work with any organisation, no matter its size or nature of work. The framework identifies and controls health and safety risks, reduces potential accidents, aids legislative compliance, and improves overall performance.
OHSAS 18001Â is a widely used, and internationally applied, British standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It exists to help all kinds of organisations put in place demonstrably sound occupational health and safety best practices.
OHSAS 18001 requires an organisation to formally document their health and safety policy, and keep ongoing records that it continues to adhere to the requirements of the standard.
AS/NZS 4801 is similar to OHSAS 18001 in that it is used as a benchmark to assess occupational health & safety management systems for organisations. Although it is an Australian/ New Zealand Standard, it is used widely by organisations around the world to manage workplace health and safety.
 The standard is used to enable an organisation to formulate health and safety policies and objectives, whilst taking into account legislative requirements and information about potential hazards or risks.
