ISO 45001
The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHS MS) enables the implementation of an efficient management system with the capability of minimizing OHS risks. The identification of risks that affect OHS, their evaluation as OHS risks with a determination of their significance and then management of these safety risks, monitoring and continuous improvement are the key requirements of the ČSN OHSAS 45001 standard (OHSAS – Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Specification).
In practice, this means managing the organization in such a way as to minimize OHS risks. The stricter requirements of legal and other regulations and the requirements of various involved parties in the OHS field are issues that must be resolved by management within the company’s business activities.
Certification in accordance with the ČSN OHSAS 45001:2018 (based on an international specification focused on OHS MS) is applicable in any organization, namely in all areas of production or provided services. The ČSN OHSAS 45001:2018 standard is a standard with a consistent process orientation and application of Deming’s “PDCA” principle.
Certification of the OHS MS is objective evidence through which the owners and management of a certified organization confirm to their owners, employees, customers and other involved parties that they not only assume responsibility for OHS, but also declare fulfillment of their commitment that applied principles in behavior and approach to OHS are an integral part of business.
Today, certification in accordance with ČSN OHSAS 45001:2018 is essential in many fields of business. Certificates are required in business relationships, in the context of tendering procedures not only in supplier chains. Fulfillment of the requirements of the ČSN OHSAS 18001 standard is also the basis for certain branch/professional certifications.

The basic standards of the environmental management system are divided into:
ISO 45001 - Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Requirements
The standard is designed to be applicable to organisations of all types and sizes and follows the structure of ČSN EN ISO 9001 and ČSN EN ISO 14001 to enable the development of an occupational health and safety management system in parallel with the organisation's quality management system (QMS) and environmental management system (EMS).
The application of ISO 45001 is based on the analysis of risks and their minimisation in the organisation with a link to individual activities.
The main purpose of the application of the standard is to guide organizations to design and implement measures within their capabilities leading to the prevention, elimination, reduction, or isolation of an employee from a potential hazard. Where this is not possible, work activities must be planned and controlled by means of organisational measures so that their performance is safe and without risk to health.
