Are You Ready for the Transition?
The proposed ISO 45001:2027 revision introduces
psychological health and safety risk management.
Now is the time to prepare for the transition.
Â
The Key Changes You Need to Know
If your organisation is ISO 45001 certified, this four-minute briefing will help you understand the proposed changes, the new expectations around psychological health and safety, and what they could mean for your management system.
Preparing early can help you keep your certification valid and avoid unnecessary disruption to your business.
WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE
The New Risk Requirements You Need to Prepare For
Psychosocial risks arise from how work is designed, organised and managed. For many ISO 45001-certified organisations, managing these risks systematically will require capabilities, tools and methodologies that may not currently exist within the traditional health and safety function.
Identify
Recognise the workplace conditions that could create psychological harm
Assess
Evaluate psychosocial risks using appropriate evidence, consultation and methodologies.
Manage
Develop preventive and protective measures that address the sources of risk.
Evidence
Demonstrate risks have been assessed, actions have been taken and effectiveness reviewed.
ARE YOU READY?Â
Would Your Current ISO 45001 System Be Ready?
The question is not simply whether your organisation addresses employee mental health. It is whether you can systematically identify, assess, manage and evidence psychosocial risk within your ISO 45001 management system
Can you systematically identify psychosocial hazards?
Do you know where risks arising from workload, control, roles, relationships, organisational change and support may exist?
Can you assess the level of psychosocial risk?
Do you have an appropriate methodology and evidence base for evaluating these risks consistently and systematically?
Can you identify and implement appropriate controls?
Can your assessment findings be translated into preventive and protective measures that address the underlying sources of risk?
Can you demonstrate worker consultation and participation?
Can you show how employees are involved in identifying psychosocial risks and developing appropriate responses?
Can you provide evidence during an audit?
Can you demonstrate what was assessed, what actions were taken, and whether those actions have been effective?
