ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable companies to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.
The standard follows a preventative process, which requires hazard risks to be evaluated and remedied, as opposed to hazard control, as under OHSAS 18001. In adopting ISO 45001, Premaberg found and identify potential hazard risks before they caused accidents and injuries. ISO 45001 will improve Premaberg’s OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health. This includes taking action to ensure that the job continues to be safe and healthy. Premaberg considers it to be of the upmost importance to protect all employees, but also to improve the company’s overall health and safety performance.
