Abstract

In order to improve working conditions in conformity with the ISO 45001 standard, organizations need to address a wide range of issues that are essential for compliance with system requirements. One of them is to limit technical measures to those that are necessary for task completion and have been designed to mitigate threats and strains. To avert potential hazards, it is imperative to deploy improvement measures that are adequate for the nature of non-conformities and will either eliminate or reduce the underlying causes of irregularities. By employing solutions in keeping with the ISO 45001 standard, organizations can streamline the selection and rollout of their solutions to ensure effective systemic management across a range of areas from planning to implementation support, operations, outcome assessments to the identification of follow-up improvements. The measures will limit threat incidence and ultimately help improve performance.
