07 Jul Why hold ISO Certification?

There are many benefits of holding ISO 45001 OHS Management System certification: 

• It asserts your organisation as a business leader.         It is a level of excellence that is acknowledged worldwide and will help to set you apart from your competitors.

• It assigns a trust to your business.        Transparency of your social responsibilities can have a huge impact on how you are perceived. Some government, defence and corporate clients will only work with suppliers who hold  ISO45001.

• Consistency improves efficiency.       ISO 45001 certification reinforces the message that your business is built around best practice. It sets a common standard for managing risks. Having a strong, consistent standard means that the organisation is more efficient across the board.

• It lowers insurance premiums.          Your commitment to OHS provides a platform which can attract lower insurance premiums. It demonstrates that you apply robust processes in managing and protecting their employees.

• It Increases your return on investment (ROI)        It improves efficiency, whilst workplace injuries reduce. A by-product of this is that work-related insurance claims decrease and further improve the cost of insurance for the business.

Holding ISO45001 certification reflects on how highly you value the health and safety of your workers, which strengthens the brand image and how you do business.
