Implementing ISO 45001 in the workplace involves several steps: Understanding OSH Management Systems and ISO 45001: Before implementing ISO 45001, familiarise yourself with the requirements of an Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) management system and the ‘Plan-Do-Check-Act’ cycle which forms the basis of the standard. Examining Your Current System: Review your current health and safety practices and identify any gaps compared to the requirements of ISO 45001. Engaging Stakeholders: Involve all stakeholders, especially top management, as their support and commitment are crucial for successful implementation. Determining Priorities and Establishing Goals: Set clear goals for your OSH management system that align with your organisational objectives. Planning and Implementing: Develop a plan to meet your goals and implement it. This includes setting up processes to identify hazards, assess risks and opportunities, and establish operational controls. Checking Performance: Monitor and measure your performance against the OSH policy and objectives. This includes conducting internal audits and management reviews. Addressing Risks and Opportunities: Take action to address any risks and opportunities identified during the ‘Check’ phase. Continual Improvement: ISO 45001 requires organisations to continually improve their OSH management systems. This involves regularly reviewing and updating the system, and addressing nonconformities and corrective actions.
