ISO 45001: Getting Ready for the New WHS Standard

Around the world, one worker dies every five seconds – that’s 2.3 million deaths a year. Globally, there are 317 million workplace incidents a year*.

Here we provide a high-level explanation of the key issues that WHS leaders will need to consider as they transition to ISO 45001. For additional support please contact Mario  – details are provided below.
