  1. All global organizations trying to address regulations and requirements from several different legal jurisdictions, adopting ISO 45001:2018 as the organization’s mandatory safety management system gives the organization one common standard to which all entities may be monitored and measured, no matter the differences in local regulations and requirements.

  2. ISO 45001:2018 provides a formal structure to identify and control work-related health and safety risks to workers, contractors and visitors. The sections of ISO 45001:2018 identify key areas that organizations may miss by not using a structured framework. A few areas may be structure and responsibility; training, awareness and competence; objectives and targets; performance monitoring and measuring; and internal auditing.

  3. ISO 45001:2018 provides a competitive advantage. As a recognizable international standard, customers immediately recognize a demonstrated commitment by the organization in health and safety at the workplace. A formal safety management system may also be required by customers in order to become a supplier to the organization.

  4.  ISO 45001 is compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. An organization can easily integrate ISO 45001 into an already established quality or environmental management program.

  5. The ISO 45001:2018 management system provides evidence of compliance to legal and other requirements. Transparency between the documented procedures to the requirements aids in providing corporate due diligence.

  6. ISO 45001:2018 provides for cost reduction opportunities such as worker compensation costs, lost production, legal costs, and costs for additional manpower due to lost-time injuries. A formal incident investigation and corrective action tracking system provide better identification for root cause and reduction in repeat incidents.

  7. ISO 45001:2018 ensures continual improvement of the health and safety management system, policies and programs through the internal auditing process. Audits identify conformances, non-conformances and opportunities for improvement within the safety management system. Annual internal audits help not only to continually look for improvements to the system, but also prepare for any surveillance or certification audits by a third party registrar.

  8. ISO 45001:2018 requires management review. Top level management must review the operation of the safety management system to assess if it has been fully implemented and followed, is achieving compliance, continues to support the organization’s policy and provides for continual improvement. Having the responsibility for the system come from the top down promotes greater buy-in and acceptance by workers and supervisors.

  9. Implementing an ISO 45001:2018 management system may appear daunting, but there are many significant benefits to an organization. By implementing this management system, an organization makes a firm commitment to the continual improvement of safety performance, which ultimately leads to a healthy and safe workplace.

​​

ISO 45001:2018 is the internationally recognized standard for best practice in occupational health and safety management. By having a clearly defined management system in place to identify and control health and safety risks, organizations are able to minimize risks to their workforce and visitors or external contractors on their premises. The standard enable organizations to put in place processes for continually reviewing and improving occupational health and safety
