We don’t want anyone to get hurt on the job.

As one of the first in Denmark and in line with our SAFETY FIRST, we are very proud of this achievement.

Every day, thousands of lives are lost due to work accidents or fatal diseases linked to work activities. These are deaths that could and should have been prevented and must be in the future. ISO 45001 aims to help organizations do just that.

ISO 45001 is the new ISO standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S). It has become one of the most eagerly awaited standards in the world and is set to drastically improve levels of workplace safety.

ISO 45001 is a milestone! As the world’s first International Standard dealing with health and safety at work, ISO 45001, Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use, offers a single, clear framework for all organizations wishing to improve their OH&S performance. Directed at the top management of an organization, it aims to provide a safe and healthy workplace for employees and visitors. To achieve this, it is crucial to control all factors that might result in illness, injury, and in extreme cases death, by mitigating adverse effects on the physical, mental and cognitive condition of a person – and ISO 45001 covers all those aspects.

What are the major differences between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001?

There are many differences, but the main change is that ISO 45001 concentrates on the interaction between an organization and its business environment while OHSAS 18001 was focused on managing OH&S hazards and other internal issues. But the standards also diverge in many other ways:

 - ISO 45001 is process-based – OHSAS 18001 is procedure-based

 - ISO 45001 is dynamic in all clauses – OHSAS 18001 is not

 - ISO 45001 considers both risk and opportunities – OHSAS 18001 deals exclusively with risk

 - ISO 45001 includes the views of interested parties – OHSAS 18001 does not
