Safely getting back to business with ISO 45001
As lockdown loosens, your company is no doubt getting ready to go back to business. But working in a post-pandemic world means that we all must take extra precautions when it comes to health and safety.
IMPLEMENTATION
Implementing an occupational health & safety management system, such as ISO 45001, can give your business a solid footing for a safe and adaptable workplace.
An effective ISO 45001 management system will help you to:
-
Understand the needs, expectations and concerns of your team members to help you implement processes for employees’ wellbeing and a safe working environment
-
Review your personnel’s medical information to identify people at risk
-
Review existing policies related to social distancing, working hours, health monitoring and reporting
-
Identify opportunities to improve the mental health of team members
-
Proactively communicate with regulators for guidance on compliance with legal and other requirements
-
Identify improved measures to protect the health and safety of visitors on site
-
Engage employees through consultation and participation to improve the new processes
-
Encourage the reporting of hazardous situations so that preventive measures can be put in place and appropriate corrective action taken
-
Evaluate whether newly implemented policies and procedures are being effectively deployed
