Navigating ISO 45001: Techniques, Implementation Tools and Case Studies

There has been a 2,500-year evolution in structured means of control and management systems. Occupational health and safety management systems are an essential tool for initiating and driving cultural change, and for establishing a framework for continual improvement in safety performance. Navigating ISO 45001 charts this evolution up to the launch of the world’s first occupational health and safety management system (OH&S-MS) standard ISO 45001:2018, and then forecasts its future for the next ten years.

This book delivers approaches and techniques that include the Navigating 45001: Three-Step Model, 16 OH&S-MS implementation toolkits, and 24 case studies presented as practical examples to facilitate your organization’s success in this critical business area. Acting as the go-to companion to Health and Safety, Environment, and Quality Audits: A Risk-based approach (Asbury, 2023) which is now in its fourth edition and has sold thousands of copies, this new book presents OH&S-MS from the organization’s side. Written with the safety manager in mind, it will become the ’go-to’ title for those who aspire to drive a prosperous and thriving organization based on world-class OH&S management and performance.

Navigating ISO 45001 is essential reading for senior managers and safety managers in any safety-critical role or profession.
