Occupational health and safety management systems - Specification
The ISO 45001 standard has been conceived to be applicable for organizations of all types and sizes and is related by its structure to standards of the EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 14001 series so that it may be possible to create an Occupational health and safety management system at the same time.
Just like the environmental management system it is based on an analysis of environmental aspects, application of ISO 45001 is based on an analysis and minimisation of risks.
The main purpose of application of the standard is to direct organisations to proposing and implementing measures that eliminate and curb hazards wherever possible or isolate employees from them. Should this not be possible work activity must be planned and managed by means of organizational measures in such a manner that its performance is safe and does not jeopardise health.
