ISO 45001

Definition

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems, giving organisations a framework to prevent work-related injury and ill health.

A Certifyd programme on OSH administration duties. Not a DOSH or NIOSH competency certification.

What does ISO 45001 ask an organisation to do?

It follows a plan, do, check, act cycle: set a safety policy and objectives, assess risks such as through HIRARC, involve workers, monitor performance and improve. The standard itself is published by ISO.

Where does an internal audit fit in ISO 45001?

Internal audits check whether the system works as planned before any external certification audit. The Certifyd Workplace Safety & Health Administrator short course gives a Certifyd certificate of completion. Certifyd is not an ISO certification body.

Courses, checks and reading on the same work.
