ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) — the globally recognized framework for protecting workers, preventing accidents and work-related illness, and improving safety performance in any organization, in any industry.
Every organization bears the responsibility to protect its workforce — a principle that is universally acknowledged and legally mandated in most countries. An effective OHSMS enables the organization to manage its health and safety hazards and risks, ensure legal compliance, and continually improve workplace safety.
This course offers an in-depth exploration of the requirements of ISO 45001, giving you a thorough understanding of how to implement and continually improve an occupational health and safety management system — and it draws on ISO 45002 (the implementation guidelines for OHS management systems) and Amendment 1 to ISO 45001 on climate action, so you get the standard's current, complete picture.
