The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an unofficial, independent and the largest international standards organization in the world. Today, more than 160 members are based in Geneva. A large number of enterprises of all sectors, large and small, establish and manage a variety of management systems designed and published by ISO. The following three systems are crucial in these management prompts:
ISO 9001 Quality Management System ISO 14001 Environmental Management System ISO 45001. Occupational Health and Safety Management System ISO 45001 standard is a management system standard that will replace the OHSAS 18001 standard which is still in force. The OHSAS 18001 standard is a standard published by the British Standards Institute (BSI) on occupational health and safety. However, this standard, unlike ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 standards, contains the principles for occupational health and safety rather than the safety of the product or service. It is a standard for identifying and reducing the risks and risks that are encountered predominantly in enterprises. Meanwhile, the OHSAS 18001 standard is not an ISO standard.
- Identify, eliminate or at least mitigate the occupational health and safety risks that employees are exposed to during their activities.
- To ensure the establishment of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System in the enterprise and to operate and improve this system.
- Ensure that the activities comply with the occupational health and safety policies described.
- To demonstrate and certify this eligibility to third parties.
At this point, when the ISO 45001 standard is issued, the enterprises establishing and fulfilling the requirements of this system can apply to a certification body and request ISO 45001 certificate.
