ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety) Implementation
Protect your people, protect your business; create a safer, smarter workplace with confidence. This practical 3-day course helps you build or improve an Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS) aligned to ISO 45001:2018. Learn hazard identification & risk assessment (HIRA), legal compliance, safe work procedures, incident investigation, worker participation, and how to get audit-ready for certification.
Challenges & Solutions
In the ISO 45001 course, participants learn to systematically control workplace hazards, involve workers in safety decisions, and drive continual improvement to reduce incidents.
Challenges
Common obstacles include:
Unclear roles and weak safety culture leading to under-reporting of incidents and near-misses
Inconsistent hazard identification, risk controls, and permit-to-work practices
Gaps in legal compliance, contractor management, and emergency preparedness
Solutions
This course provides practical solutions such as:
Establishing a risk-based OHSMS with clear responsibilities, objectives, and KPIs
Applying HIRA, hierarchy of controls, and safe work procedures (LOTO, confined space, hot work)
Creating legal registers, contractor control, competence & training, and emergency response plans
Implementing incident/near-miss reporting, root-cause analysis, and corrective & preventive actions
