Introduction to ISO 45001 Training
The long-awaited ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Standard was released in March of 2018. This is possibly the most impactful change in OH&S standards in decades. Within the next three years, organizations currently certified under the British OHSAS 18001 standard will be required to migrate to the new ISO 45001 international standard. The need has never been greater for high quality training to bring organizations up to speed on the changes required to certify under the new ISO international standard. Leadership commitment and worker involvement are just a couple of the significant differences with this new standard. The implementation of an ISO 45001 compliant OH&S management system must be carefully planned and must relate to the scale and context of the organization. Many organizations simply do not have sufficient resources or an in-house subject matter expert on the new ISO 45001 standard. Whether implementing an entirely new OH&S management system or migrating from the current certification to the new ISO 45001 standard, it is going to take additional resources and trained personnel to reach your goal of certification.
ISO 45001 Training Course Description
The body of information covered within the ISO 450001 Training Course consists of the following main sections:
- Executive Overview
- Transition to the New ISO 45001 Standard
- Documentation and Implementation
- Internal Auditing
- Continual Improvement
Executive Overview
This course provides a basic level of understanding of the ISO 45001 International Standard requirements and application. This course is applicable to any organization planning on or in the process of establishing, implementing and maintaining an effective OH&S management system. This information can be utilized to improve occupational health and safety, identify and eliminate hazards, access and minimize risks, and set objectives for continual improvement. Each participant will have the opportunity to be involved in exercises relative to properly defining the organization’s context, worker consultation and involvement practices, hazard identification, risk analysis, internal auditing, system performance evaluation, setting objectives for continual improvement and PDCA methodology, which is at the heart of the new standard.
Transition to the New ISO 45001 Standard
This course provides a comprehensive review of the new ISO 45001 requirements and transition objectives in order to meet the new standard. While ISO 45001 and BS 18001 standards both are regarding occupational health and safety, there are fundamental differences in the way they approach safety. The British 18001 standard takes a reactive approach whereas the new truly international standard ISO 45001 requires organizations to take a more proactive approach to occupational health and safety. The new standard requires that health and safety systems are incorporated throughout the entire management system of the organization.
Leadership and Commitment
Top management must take a powerful leadership role in the OH&S management system and commit to providing adequate resources for the implementation and operation of the management system. The training course includes planning and allocating resources, gaining commitment from the parties involved, and methods for communicating the importance of the OH&S Management system and adherence to it.
Worker Consultation and Involvement
Workers must now have an expanded role and actively participate in the implementation and continual improvement of the safety management system. Workers are consulted and must be provided training and education to identify hazards and assess risks and opportunities for improvement. Internal audit and risk assessment results must be shared with workers and allow for employee input. The standard requires organizations establish and maintain a proactive process for identification of possible hazards to the workers and others that may have access to the workplace including contractors, suppliers, and other visitors. The ISO 45001 training includes material regarding:
- Worker consultation and involvement
- Developing OH&S training for workers
- Methods for Identification of Hazards
- Introduction to Risk Assessment tools
- Implementing an effective communication process
According to ISO 45001, the responsibility for safety management belongs to everyone, at all levels of the organization.
Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)
As mentioned previously the PDCA cycle is at the heart of the new ISO 45001 standard. Our transition training includes an introduction into the PDCA cycle, its use, and alignment of the different ISO 45001 requirements to each stage of the cycle.
Documentation and Implementation
The ISO 45001 standard requires that the OH&S system and all information required by the standard be documented and controlled. One of the key documents that must be developed is the OH&S Policy. Documents should follow an internally agreed upon standard format. The ISO 45001 Documentation and Implementation training includes information regarding:
- Documentation of the Management System
- Establishing and Communicating an OH&S Policy
- Document Control Requirements
- Records Retention Requirements
Internal Auditing
This course provides methods to perform internal audits of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System based on the ISO 45001 requirements. The course is intended for participants that are either new to internal auditing or currently performing internal audits. This section of the training is also applicable to the audit process owners and personnel responsible for managing the OH&S audit process. The training materials include information on:
- Internal Auditing Methodology
- Proper Audit Documentation
- Developing a Standard Review Interval
- Audit Records Retention
Continual Improvement
The OH&S Management System must include established processes for the identification of risks and opportunities and addressing them with clearly defined objectives. In addition, ISO 45001 requires that an organization establish a process to report, investigate and take action to address incidents, prevent their recurrence, and promote continual improvement of the OH&S Management System. Quality-One ISO 45001 training includes information and exercises regarding:
- Requirements for addressing incidents
- Identifying the Root Cause of the non-conformance
- Developing Effective Countermeasures
- Setting clearly defined objectives for improvement
- Developing a Continual Improvement culture within your organization
