CA-04 · ISO standards
ISO 45001
Systematic occupational health and safety: hazard identification, risk assessment, operational controls, training. Integrable with the client's prevention service.
ISO 45001 replaces and strengthens the former OHSAS 18001. It structures occupational health and safety prevention as a complete management system, not as a collection of loose documents.
It covers five areas: hazard identification and risk assessment, worker consultation and participation, operational controls, emergency preparedness, and incident investigation with root cause analysis.
It does not compete with the prevention service: it elevates it. The prevention service covers the minimum legal obligation; 45001 builds on top of it a living system that is audited and improved. Particularly useful in the industrial sector — 74% of our 45001 implementations are manufacturers.
