BSI's ISO 45001 Requirements competency-based course teaches a general understanding of the key terms, definitions and requirements of and how the standard can help your organization to better align their strategic direction with their occupational health and safety management system. An experienced instructor will explain the clauses in detail, cover auditing of the requirements for the standard. Students learn by participating in group exercises, case studies, and in-depth discussions.

BSI is an Exemplar Global (formerly RABQSA) certified training provider. Attendees successfully completing this course receive a Certificate of Attainment.

ISO 45001, the first global Occupation Health and Safety (OH&S)management system standard, is intended to replace the widely implemented BS OHSAS 18001. It is anticipated that organizations currently certified to BS OHSAS 18001 will need to migrate to ISO 45001 within three years of the new standard's publication. Having an internationally recognized occupational health and safety management system (OH&SMS) allows you to enhance organizational health and safety performance and gain a competitive edge.

By attending, you will be able to identify the structure and requirements of an effective OH&SMS. Gain a thorough understanding of the ISO 45001 key terms, definitions and the ISO standardized high-level structure. You will learn to interpret and apply the key concepts and principles of the standard to existing processes within your organization.
