Within an organization, there are many standards that serve as benchmarks to ensure everything runs smoothly. One widely implemented standard is occupational health and safety management. This is why ISO 45001 was introduced to replace OHSAS 18001.
First released in 2018, ISO 45001 was introduced due to the high number of workplace accidents. Every day, thousands of workers die from accidents or illnesses arising from the risks of their work. One study found that every 12 seconds, someone dies from a work-related accident.
Although its impact is indirect, ISO 45001 plays a crucial role in preventing workplace accidents. ISO 45001 itself outlines a more detailed occupational health and accident management system and program than previous standards.
Furthermore, this ISO has been approved and deemed effective enough for implementation in organizations by the Indonesian government. Over time, ISO 45001, concerning occupational health and safety management systems, has become quite compatible with other ISO standards.
Some ISO standards that are often integrated with other management standards are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. These three ISO standards, when implemented together, create a conducive work environment. This is why it is so important for an organization to start implementing ISO 45001.
