ISO 45001 implements the Annex SL process and structure, making integration of multiple ISO management system standards easier, such as ISO 9001, Quality management systems and ISO 14001, Environmental management systems. It uses a simple plan-do-check-act (PDCA) model, which provides a framework for organisations to plan what they need to put in place in order to minimize the risk of injury or illness. The measures should address concerns that can lead to
long-term health issues and absence from work, as well as those that give rise to injuries.
ISO 45001 enables an organisation to identify OH&S hazards, risks and opportunities to proactively manage to support worker wellness/well-being. The ISO 45001 standard calls for the organisation’s management and leadership to:
Integrate responsibility for health and safety issues as part of the organisation’s overall plan
Demonstrate engagement with employees (and where they exist employees’ representatives) to create an organisational cultural that encourages active participation of workers in the OH&S management system
Ensure the OH&S MS is integrated into an organisations business processes
