Why ISO 45001 is good for your organization?

ISO 45001 is designed to prevent work-related injury and ill-health and to provide safe and healthy workplaces.

As an international standard, ISO 45001 crosses geographic, political, economic, commercial and social boundaries. This sets a single benchmark for the management of occupational health and safety.

So if your organization operates or trades internationally, you can work to a single standard which can simplify your business.

Or if you are new to occupational health and safety management, it’s a great framework to put into your business to build organizational resilience.

How ISO 45001 supports the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals

Organizations that are committed to sustainability are increasingly aligning their corporate strategies to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Accredited certification of ISO 45001, the international occupational health and safety management system, demonstrates an organization’s commitment to ensuring decent work conditions, health, well-being and equality practices. For organizations seeking to enhance their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) profile, implementation of ISO 45001 and its alignment to the SDGs sends a powerful message to shareholders and stakeholders including employees that they truly care for their people.
