ISO 45001 roundtable - full discussion - gap analyses and assessments

Open-access content Monday 12th March 2018
From the archive:  Just so you know, this article is more than 3 years old.
Share with a colleague

Experts from BSI, the British Safety Council, EEF and NQA Certification discuss what auditors will be looking for in organisations certifying their systems to the new standard. Who are the participants?

Watch the full ISO 45001 discussion (Approx duration: 1 hour, 23 minutes)
button-audio-version-available

For 18001 audits senior management haven't always made themselves available. There will be no getting away from that with 45001.

*This filmed round table is organised and hosted by LexisNexis, publishers of IOSH Magazine. If you have trouble viewing the recording, please contact our technical support [email protected].

They need to not rush it. There's a three-year transitional period if you are already certified to 18001 so you don't have to rush to be the first to do it.

Watch our ISO 45001 discussion preview

If processes are relatively new, especially in worker participation, it may be hard to show implementation.

 Table Talk: ISO 45001 management standard

Tuesday 13th March 2018
ISO 45001, the first international safety and health management systems standard, was finally issued on 12 March, five years after it was proposed. The standard will replace BS OHSAS 18001 over the next three years. It differs from that standard in that it is a globally-agreed model for an OSH management system and because it shares elements with the other ISO management systems standards for environmental and quality management.

 REACH: the clock is ticking

Wednesday 14th March 2018
Is 31 May in your diary? It’s not another safety or health awareness day, but the final registration deadline for REACH, the European chemicals regulation. As the deadline approaches, organisations that didn’t think it applied to them are discovering otherwise. Some, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are only just realising that they count as importers under REACH.
