We all knows that how important ISO
standards are. They are a set of guidelines and strategic tools which help the
businesses in improving the systems and its processes ensures the compatibility
of products and services & reduces the impact of the business's activities
on the environment. In short, the management system standards help in cost
cutting, increasing customer satisfaction, access to new markets, creating
a better environment.
Thus, we can say that ISO standards are
an essential part of business organizations. Recently a management
system standard 'OHSAS 18001' is changed and it is transited into ISO 45001 standard.
OHSAS 18001 was an Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard.
But in the year 2016, the OHSAS 18001 was made subject to change because of
some errors. The committee drafters drafted another standard named
ISO 45001 in
the place of OHSAS 18001.
ISO 45001 is intended for use by any
organization, regardless of its size or the nature of its work, and can be
integrated into other health and safety programs such as worker wellness and well being.
An
ISO 45001 is beneficial in a number of ways such as:
- Reduce
work-related injuries, ill health, and death in an organization.
- It
eliminates or minimizes Occupational Health &Safety risks.
- It
helps in the improvement of OH&S performance and its effectiveness.
- It
demonstrates corporate responsibility and meets supply chain requirements.
- Improves
brand reputation.
- Ensures
motivation and engagement of staff through positive consultation and free
participation.
ISO 45001 is expected to come in
October 2016 but organizations can prepare themselves in advance.
