JAS-ANZ has announced all OHSAS 18001 certified businesses will need to transfer to ISO 45001 by September 2021. BusinessBasics can help you with this transition – call us today!
To combat this, OHSAS 18001, the precursor to ISO 45001, was developed to minimise workplace risks, create safer workplaces and improve employee safety conditions across all industries.
OHSAS 18001 focused on risks and related to the workers in an organisation. However, in March 2018, the ISO committee recognised a need to further improve health and safety management in the workplace.
A new and improved version of the OHSAS 18001 certification was released called ISO 45001:2018. In this new standard, organisations must look at both risks and opportunities, as well as the health and safety of workers from a holistic perspective, including employee wellness and wellbeing.
Organisations still certified to OHSAS 18001 will need to migrate to ISO 45001 before September 2021. At BusinessBasics, we’re committed to helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to become ISO 45001:2018 certified, whether it’s a first-time certification or a smooth migration from OHSAS to ISO 45001.
With input from experts from over 70 countries, ISO 45001 was developed under the ISO system to provide an international framework for occupational health and safety management. Unlike its predecessor, OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001 factors in the interaction between a company and its business environment.
ISO 45001 can apply to businesses of any size, scope or industry. It’s designed to combine seamlessly with your existing management processes and works off a risk-based approach, undergoing constant updates to keep pace with your business as it changes and grows.
ISO 45001 certifications demonstrate a business’s ability to identify and manage risks associated with its industry and protect the physical and mental health of its employees.
ISO 45001 certification provides businesses with the ability to implement a holistic management system for occupational health and safety. As an ISO 45001 certified business, you’ll be able to:
Whether you’re becoming ISO 45001 certified for the first time or looking to migrate from AS/NZS 4801 or OHSAS 18001, our expert team is here to make the process quick and simple.
Our team of certification consultants will complete a gap analysis of your existing OHS management system and identify any areas of non-compliance. We will then help to develop a plan and address these areas of non-compliance, including the development of new safety systems and processes.
We can also assist with training your staff so they know how to effectively navigate the new safety system and feel confident and supported in their day-to-day activities.
ISO 45001 is backed up by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), an independent organisation of over 160 national standards bodies which comes together to develop internationally recognised standards for everything from health care technology to manufacturing, mining and agriculture. ISO members share their knowledge to develop relevant, actionable international standards which support innovation and offer solutions to international challenges.
ISO 45001 is the ISO standard for workplace health and safety, developed by an ISO committee made up of occupational health and safety experts with the goal of saving millions of lives each year.
By gaining ISO 45001 certification you’re not only ensuring your workplace health and safety management systems will promote your employees’ health, wellbeing and safety, you’re also demonstrating your compliance to internationally recognised standards.
