ISO 45001 Providing a Safer Workplace

Prior to this international standard there used to be a UK standard known as OHSAS 18001:2007 this has now been superceded by the new ISO 45001 standards.
Achieving ISO 45001 Certification gives your business the following benefits:
- Reduction in the risk of accidents – create a safer workplace for you and your employees. Good working conditions demonstrate a commitment to your staff’s well-being, improving morale and relations.
- Demonstration of essential legal compliance – it is necessary under UK law to show that you have performed all relevant risk assessments and put health and safety measure into practice. Failure to do so can result in heavy fines.
- Exposure to an increased customer base – many larger companies and corporations now require suppliers to offer clear indications of their suitability from a risk-assessment standpoint. This improves your chances of winning tenders.
- Lower insurance premiums and costs – by proving that you have taken necessary preventative action within your workplace, insurers will understand that the risks of injury and damage are significantly less.
- Effective management of safety risks – this standard provides a system of implementing new safety measures in line with future developments saving you resource on undergoing new assessment and consultation.
