We have now completed a successful migration from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001:2018- Occupational Health & Safety Management System. Over 7,600 people die each day from work-related accidents or diseases. The burden of occupational injuries and diseases is significant, both for employers and the wider economy, resulting in losses from early retirements, staff absence and rising insurance premiums. ISO 45001 is a standard that helps organisations to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks and create better, safer working conditions. The standard was developed by a committee of occupational health and safety experts, and follows other generic management system approaches such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
