Why OH&S management with ISO 45001?
With ISO 45001, you demonstrably create a healthy and safe workplace for your own employees and temporary workers. Especially when work is carried out at the client’s premises, certainty for contractors in that regard is important. Accidents at the location are highly undesirable for everyone.
Part of socially responsible business
ISO 45001 is also part of socially responsible business (CSR) and aligns with various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). When it comes to the “social/people” component of CSR, people often think of themes such as human rights and working conditions in other countries. There is also still much to be gained by reducing the number of accidents and improving the health of employees within the organization itself.
