Individual organisational measures and related feedback support the idea that management systems standards can have a positive effect within an organisation. But, until recently, there was little independent, empirical research to prove whether adhering to an international standard actually improves business performance.
A new joint study conducted by scholars at Harvard Business School and Duke University has changed this. Using proprietary data from some of the world’s largest certification companies and injury microdata from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Harvard-Duke team has released independent research specifically focused on the impact of occupational health and safety management systems on businesses.
Kate Field, global head of health, safety and wellbeing at BSI, spoke to Michael Toffel, Senator John Heinz Professor of Environmental Management at Harvard Business School, and other industry experts to discuss what this research means. This whitepaper paints a picture of exactly how and why implementing ISO 45001 safety management system is proven to significantly increase performance throughout an organization.
