ISO 45001 will be the new standard concerning Occupational Health and Safety. As its publication date is approaching, the main aim of this webinar will be to provide insights on some of the key implementation steps. Additionally, the webinar explores some possible ways of transitioning from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001.
Main points covered:
• Understanding the organizations objectives
• Identification of requirements for ISO 45001 implementation
• The role of top management in ISO 45001implementation
• The establishment of a positive and an effective safety culture within your organization

10. Contrast of Views
• Sidney Dekker – old view of safety is the absence of
incident & the new view is an emergent property of
the system
VS
14. • An ISO standard is developed by a panel of experts,
within a technical committee.
• Once the need for a standard has been established,
these experts meet to discuss & negotiate a draft
standard.
• As soon as a draft has been developed it is shared
with ISO’s members who are asked to comment &
vote on it.
• If a consensus is reached the draft becomes an ISO
standard, if not it goes back to the technical
committee for further edits.
16. ISO 45001

For example, a procedure may properly reflect the desired intent and be adequately detailed in its
instructions. However, the successful execution of the procedure requires the actions of
properly trained individuals who understand the importance of the underlying intent, who
accept their responsibility for the task, and who appreciate that taking an obviously
simplifying but potentially unsafe shortcut would be, quite simply, wrong.
