1. What is ISO45001?
ISO 45001 is a occupational health and safety management system standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization. It provides organizations with a systematic framework to prevent and control occupational health and safety risks in the workplace.
The standard is based on risk thinking and focuses on eliminating or reducing the risk of injury and illness for employees and related parties in the course of work. It is applicable to organizations of all industries and sizes, and the core objective is to continuously improve occupational health and safety performance.

2. Core certification requirements of ISO45001:

(1) Leadership and full staff participation. The top management must assume ultimate responsibility for occupational health and safety (OHS), define the organization's OHS policies and objectives, and ensure resource allocation. Simultaneously, a mechanism for full staff participation should be established to guarantee employees' and stakeholders' (e.g., contractors, visitors) rights to OHS information, participation, and consultation.
(2) The management of risks and opportunities requires comprehensive identification of OHS hazards in the workplace (e.g., mechanical injuries, chemical hazards, occupational disease risks, etc.), assessment of risk levels, and formulation of measures for risk elimination, reduction, or control. Simultaneously, opportunities to enhance OHS performance should be identified and utilized (e.g., introducing automated equipment to reduce risks associated with manual operations).
(3) Compliance Management: Establish and maintain a list of applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws, regulations, industry standards, and other requirements. Regularly assess the organization's compliance status to ensure all OHS activities comply with relevant regulations, and retain records of compliance evaluations.
(4) Operational control and emergency preparedness: Standardized operational guidelines shall be established for high-risk activities (e.g., high-altitude work, hot work), specifying operational procedures and safety requirements; potential emergencies (e.g., fires, chemical leaks) shall be identified, contingency plans formulated, and regular emergency drills conducted with continuous optimization of the plans.
(5) Performance Monitoring and Improvement Establish OHS performance monitoring indicators (such as accident incidence rate, hazard rectification rate, employee safety training coverage rate, etc.), and regularly monitor, measure, and analyze performance data. Identify system deficiencies through internal audits and management reviews, develop corrective and preventive measures, and promote continuous improvement of the OHS management system.
(6) Resource Assurance: Adequate human, material, and financial resources are allocated, including qualified safety management personnel, personal protective equipment (PPE), and safety facilities. Concurrently, targeted Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training is conducted to ensure that relevant personnel possess the necessary safety knowledge and skills for their duties.
