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.
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
