COVID-19: ADDRESSING WORKPLACE CHALLENGES ON WORLD DAY FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK

 

 

The theme of this year’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work is “Stop the pandemic: Safety and health at work can save lives”, which recognizes the many unprecedented challenges that organizations face at this time and raises awareness of the importance of effective occupational health and safety services.

ISO 45001, Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use, is the first and only International Standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management, containing agreed good practice from around the world. It provides useful guidance and a framework to reduce work-related risks, protect health and increase safety at work. 

Workplace health, however, is not limited to physical safety and well-being. The stresses and fears that this period has induced impact us all. Workers everywhere could be affected by the prevailing uncertainty and their working environment plays a vital role in reducing this.
