Description

ISO 45001: Mastering the Standard, Deploying the System and Steering Safety

Build an occupational health and safety management system that lives beyond the binders

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Prevention often rests on a risk register updated once a year and on instructions no one reads again. Near misses are never reported and contractors intervene on site without any real coordination. When an accident occurs, the organisation struggles to demonstrate what was actually in place.

These two days provide the keys to entering the standard. Participants discover the structure of ISO 45001 and its accountability logic, then build hazard identification and risk assessment. They put operational control and worker consultation in place, then organise monitoring and the management review.

Learning objectives

  • Describe the structure of ISO 45001 and its continual improvement logic
  • Analyse the organisation's context and the expectations of interested parties
  • Build hazard identification and occupational risk assessment
  • Organise worker consultation and participation
  • Put operational control and emergency preparedness in place
  • Steer monitoring, internal audits and the management review

What makes this programme different

Risk assessment is built on real workstations brought by participants
A near-miss reporting and analysis exercise is run live in the session
A health and safety management review is prepared using genuinely available data
