Occupational health and safety management system accordingly to ISO45001

A management system for work environment according to ISO 45001 is used as a tool to improve work environment performance and to manage work environment risks. To implement a management system for work environment is to clearly show current and future employees that their work environment is important and that you as a organization actively work to create a better and safer workplace and that you comply with applicable legislation.

In recent years, work environment legislation has become clearer and the demands on organizations are increasing. Having a prosperous and pleasant workplace has become a quality factor in society and a better working environment is something that all companies constantly work with. Proactive risk-based approach reduces sick leave, accidents and incidents. The standard helps to raise work environment issues for management and helps to systematize working methods.
