ISO 45001:2018
At Paragon Assurance, we understand the paramount importance of fostering a safe and healthy work environment. This is why we advocate for ISO 45001:2018 certification—a globally recognized standard specifically designed to enhance occupational health and safety management systems.
Why Pursue ISO 45001:2018 Certification?
Demonstrated Commitment to Safety
Achieving ISO 45001:2018 certification showcases your organization’s unwavering dedication to ensuring a safe workplace for employees, customers, and stakeholders alike.
Reduction in Workplace Incidents
Implementing the ISO 45001 standard significantly mitigates risks, thereby lowering the likelihood of workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses.
Compliance with Legal Requirements
Certification demonstrates conformity with legal and regulatory obligations related to occupational health and safety, ensuring your organization operates within the established legal frameworks.
Improved Productivity and Efficiency
By proactively addressing potential hazards and risks, ISO 45001 encourages a culture of prevention, leading to increased productivity and operational efficiency.
Enhanced Reputation and Credibility
Displaying the ISO 45001:2018 certification emblem elevates your organization’s reputation, fostering trust among clients, partners, and stakeholders.
Cost Reduction
Minimized incidents and improved operational efficiency ultimately lead to reduced insurance premiums, compensation claims, and operational disruptions, resulting in cost savings.
Useful Tip
A significant requirement of ISO 45001:2018 is ensuring that key stakeholders (staff & appropriate external providers) are consulted when identifying hazards associated with the organizations work environment and establishing safety controls to mitigate / minimize the risk associated. There are many practical ways to do this, including;
- Setting up a health & safety committee and encouraging staff from various parts of the organization to get involved and contribute by reviewing risk assessments.
- Carrying out regular toolbox talks and team briefings – discuss a different hazard each time, gather feedback and update risk assessments as necessary.
- Train staff that are actually carrying out the activities on how to complete a risk assessment. It doesn’t always need to be the sole responsibility of the Health & Safety Representative.
