Overview of the Internal Training and Awareness Course on ISO 45001

ISO 45001:2018 is the first global standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management systems, replacing the widely implemented OHSAS 18001:2007.

The adoption of ISO 45001 enables organizations and enterprises to provide safe and healthy working environments for employees and others, prevent work-related risks, injuries, and illnesses, and continuously enhance OH&S performance.

Through the implementation of ISO 45001, enterprises can align their strategic direction with OH&S management systems and focus more on improving occupational safety and hygiene performance. As an international standard, ISO 45001 certification and recognition help customers understand how OH&S is managed across the organization on a global scale.

The ISO 45001 training course equips participants with essential knowledge to work in relevant positions such as ISO specialists, HSE officers, and more. The course is suitable not only for business leaders but also for newly assigned employees responsible for occupational health and safety within the enterprise. ISO 45001:2018 also introduces changes compared to previous versions, enabling learners to update their knowledge and improve occupational safety management systems.

In addition, the ISO 45001:2018 training program provided by ISSQ Institute offers foundational knowledge necessary for career advancement to higher positions related to ISO 45001, such as ISO Managers or ISO 45001 Auditors.

Upon successful completion of the ISO 45001 training program at ISSQ Institute, participants will be awarded an ISO 45001 certificate.
