ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System

What Is ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification?

In our country, occupational health and safety (OHS) activities tend to evoke the use of personal protective equipment and are traditionally perceived as a separate task that has to be done on the side. With an OHS Management System, the roles and responsibilities of employees, managers and supervisors are made clear, which ensures employee participation.

With this system, employees become part of a system in an organization that gives due importance to OHS activities: an organization in which OHS risks are identified and reduced to a minimum through controls, which complies with the law, which puts its objectives into practice through management programs, which provides appropriate OHS training to the appropriate people, which is prepared for emergencies, which monitors its performance and uses the monitoring results to initiate improvement activities, and which audits, reviews and documents its activities.

The approach in which hazards and risks are identified in a systematic and scientific manner, and measures against those hazards and risks are taken, in order to protect against accidents and other harmful effects on health arising from various causes while work is carried out in workplaces, and to provide a better working environment, is called the Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

The Occupational Health and Safety Management System is a tool used to address occupational health and safety activities systematically, in alignment with organizations' overall strategies, within a continual improvement approach.
