Health Safety Images
ISO 45001 Certification is also known as health safety management system certification. Before it was named as OHSAS 18001 standard and it was British standard. Now it is known as ISO 45001 standard. It is published by ISO Geneva based office in 2018.
OHSAS 18001 is still using by some companies who took it before publishing 45001 standard in March 2018. So, though some organization still using18001 certificate but after 2021 it will be expired. After 11th March 2021 it will not be accepted by any stake holder or by your customer. So, it is wise decision now to adopt 45001 standard instead 18001 standard.
Worldwide workers health is in great risk. Specially who work in 3D (Dirty, Dangerous and Difficult) industries their health safety issue is in dangerous position. Decreasing humanity from the society, too much profit minded attitude among the factory owners group, negligence and corruption of respecting agents of government are the major causes of this health risk of workers.
ISO 45001:2018 can be worked as a particle of light for the workers in 3D(Dirty, Difficult and Dangerous) industries. Specially for 45001 ISO auditors can contribute a lot to protect workers health in those industries who are showing negligence to protect workers health in 3D industries.
ISO 45001 consultant can help those industries who are interested to implement this standard in their factories or work places. Specially they can help to reduce air pollution, sound pollution by providing guidelines for the factory management.
In many places where PPE and safety shoes are necessary but due to negligence of factory management that are not provided. So, workers may lose toe or leg from accident though it can be avoided by a small investment.
In some cases workers do not wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) due to lack of awareness about health safety. In this regard awareness training on 45001 can be provided to the workers to reduce the risk from the workers. ISO 45001 consultant can provide this training.

by Abdul Halim | May 14, 2018 | ISO Training
ISO Internal auditors training is necessary for ISO Certification and maintenance of your ISO Certificates. It is one of the mandatory things. In the clause number 9.2 of ISO 9001:2015 standard It is explained clearly to do internal audit.
ISO Internal audit is mandatory for all standards certification. If you want to check how ISO Standard’s requirements have been implemented in your company then you need to monitor it i.e you should check it. Internal audit is one of the effective tools to monitor the implementation status of ISO standard’s requirement.
But the problem is many companies even after obtaining ISO Certificate they do not do internal audit properly or according to the internal audit performing SOP. That’s why they stay behind to check the processes performances. If you think you are so busy or if you have no scope to do the Internal audit then you can hire an ISO Consultant to perform ISO internal audit.
AAS provides internal audit training to all of its clients before certification just for a little fee. Sometimes it is provided free of cost. See the read the below pdf file to know about our internal audit training program.
