An employee’s working environment impacts their physical and mental health. To strive towards a positive working experience for employees, employers can implement standards through a culture of proactive management when it comes to health and safety concerns.
ISO 45001 is the international standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). It includes a framework to improve workplace safety and reduce overall risk to protect employee welfare. By achieving this ISO accreditation, a business is actively stating their intention for their staff to take a pragmatic approach to tasks, instilling a culture of well-being and compliance.
To create a workplace with OHS at its core, the importance of Hazard Identification and conducting Risk Assessments cannot be understated. To get buy-in from employees, Leadership from the top is required, with emphasis on Continuous Improvement and Preparedness from an individual and business-wide perspective.

While it may appear to be little more than a “tick the box” exercise to ask employees to follow workplace procedures, failing to emphasize the importance of OHS standards can result in:
The core of ISO 45001 is to prevent incidents before they occur. A mentality is created behind the ideology that if an issue, or even a potential issue is identified, it will be resolved to protect employees.
