The primary function of OHSAS 18001 is to
keep people safe and to maintain
compliance. ISO 45001 isn’t different
in this regard; it just goes about
addressing these two objectives in a
slightly more pragmatic way.
An excellent example of this is the
requirement to set OHS key
performance indicators that clearly
identify trends in OHS parameters
which can be used to implement practical
safety measures. Key performance
indicators must be specific, measurable,
achievable, responsibility assigned, time bound, evaluated
and regularly reviewed.
