Since its publication by the International Organization for Standardization in 2018, ISO 45001 has become the global gold standard for occupational health and safety management systems. In this session, we’ll review how principles within ISO 45001, especially the Plan-Do-Check-Act model, can help you structure your ergonomics process for continuous improvement, to improve the health and productivity of your workers.
You’ll also see an overview of recently self-reported data from multiple organizations that reveals common successes and challenges faced when implementing and managing these principles.
Participants will:
• Understand the key concepts of ISO 45001 relative to ergonomics.
• Learn how to integrate ISO 45001 into their ergonomics programs.
• Identify common challenges in implementing ISO 45001 into ergonomics programs and how to overcome them.
