About ISO 45001:2018
ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, with guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health and by proactively improving OH&S performance.
Innovative Quality Consultancy implements ISO 45001:2018 so that hazard identification, risk control, worker participation and legal compliance become part of how work is planned and supervised, not an add-on to it.
