ISO 45001:2018 – A practical guide for SMEs

ISO 45001 handbook, published jointly by ISO and UNIDO, aims to help small organizations implement the requirements of ISO 45001:2018. It provides an overview of the requirements and sets out approaches for small organizations to implement them, to help you establish an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system.

The impact of work-related fatalities, injuries or ill health on a small organization can be overwhelming. The effects can include reduced revenue, overtime costs, increased injury and ill health costs, and can even result in a small organization closing. Even larger organizations can experience significant negative effects. Such occurrences are even more devastating if an organization is a family-based operation.

Readers will get simple explanations and practical examples that support their first steps into the intricacies of workplace health and safety.
