ISO 45001 is here – what now?

This was a well-attended meeting of great interest to all present. Kevin's presentation outlined the main aspects of the new Standard and he also provided a handout with a summary of the different sections of the Standard in comparison to AS 4801 & OHSAS 18001. 

The key message was to reassure organisations that the new Standard will not be overly disruptive; in fact, it can support and strengthen the work of OHS professionals within organisations. Kevin's advice is to start using the Standard now even if it is still a couple of years before it becomes an official element of Australian OHS systems.

ISO 45001 is here – what now

Kevin Jones, editor of the SafetyAtWorkBlog.

The new international standard for OHS Management Systems – ISO 45001 – has been finalised and is due to be published in mid-March 2018.

Kevin Jones has been closely following the evolution of this new Standard and its implications for Australia. At our next meeting he will be providing his perspective on the Standard that many are claiming is a “game changer”. Kevin believes it’s not, but that it is still important because it includes support for some effective OHS Principles. He will be inviting discussion during his talk, which should make it a lively meeting. We expect no less from Kevin!
