SGA - MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK

Consulting from Rail Services

ISO 45001 is an international standard for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). It was developed to help organizations create safer and healthier workplaces while minimizing risks and hazards in the workplace. ISO 45001 was first published in March 2018 and replaced the previous OHSAS 18001.

Do you manage a company?

Compliance with ISO 45001 is essential because you want your employees to feel safe and healthy at work!

For whom is an SGA management system important?

This question is easy to answer: "Every organization that employs staff should have a systematic approach to health and safety. It does not matter whether it is a company in a specific sector, whether it is a small family business or a global corporation, a non-profit organization or a municipal administration. It is essential that employees have the certainty that they are working in a safe working environment. This is not only good for their health, but also an essential prerequisite for motivation and efficient work."
