Training on ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
Course Overview
Organizations are increasingly expected to provide safe and healthy workplaces while complying with occupational health and safety regulations, reducing operational risks, and improving workforce wellbeing. International Organization for Standardization ISO 45001:2018 provides an internationally recognized framework for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OH&S MS), enabling organizations to proactively prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, and operational disruptions.
This course equips participants with practical and strategic expertise to implement, manage, audit, and continually improve an ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The program focuses on workplace hazard identification, risk assessment, incident prevention, legal compliance, emergency preparedness, and safety performance improvement.
Participants will learn how to establish occupational health and safety policies, manage operational risks, strengthen worker participation, implement preventive controls, and prepare organizations for ISO 45001 certification audits. The course also explores leadership responsibilities, safety culture development, contractor management, psychosocial risks, and integrated management system approaches.
Through practical exercises, risk assessment workshops, audit simulations, and real-world case studies, participants develop the capability to build resilient occupational health and safety systems that improve workforce protection, operational continuity, and organizational performance.
