Motivation and benefits

The implementation of ISO 45001 ensures the systematization of safety related activities and the optimization of processes. Additionally, it helps to achieve a structured improvement of legal compliance and framework conditions due to the use of transparent systems for persons responsible, representatives and managers.

The awareness of Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) risks is reinforced and legal requirements regarding OH&S are verifiably met. There is an open information policy in terms of the development of OH&S and a continuous improvement of occupational safety and health protection is achieved. Processes are reviewed systematically and measures are defined, implemented, monitored and assessed.

An organization certified according to ISO 45001 inspires higher confidence in customers, suppliers, employees, authorities and investors.

Many specifications of ISO 45001 are similar to legal requirements. Therefore, ISO 45001 supports every ambitious organization in increasing its corporate legal certainty.

ISO 45001 is based on the ISO High Level Structure and can be combined efficiently with other standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 due to the same structure and format.The norm is very much aligned with the aspect of (risk based) prevention.
