Organization for Standardization] provides strategic tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and errors, and increase productivity. Certification from a body that provides world- class specifications serves as endorsement of our commitment to provide the safest possible working environment for staff, clients and anyone who interacts with our company. We go beyond legal obligations to ensure that health and safety is embedded into every process.” RSS works closely with global certification


body NQA, which conducts annual audits to ensure it remains in adherence with ISO criteria. Thomas explained that a longer-term cycle involves a full recertification audit every third year—a requirement of ISO 45001:2018. She said: “As NQA reiterates, while [ISO] 45001 is heavily informed by [OHSAS] 18001, it is a new standard—not a simple revision or brief update—and requires our closest attention in every working practice.” NQA focuses on the ultimate goal of


helping businesses provide a healthy and safe working environment for their employees and everyone else who visits the workplace. This,


it advocates, can be achieved by controlling factors that could potentially lead to injury, illness and, in extreme situations, even death. Thomas said: “The ongoing process


is extensive and includes OH&S policy; defined organizational roles, responsibilities and authorities; identification of risks and opportunities; risk assessment and safe working procedures; objectives and plans; and emergency preparedness and response. All [RSS] employees play a role in implementing and maintaining the system, but top management holds overall responsibility for ensuring that requirements are met. I serve in an assisting capacity as we meet objectives related to working environments and physical or financial resources.” Organizations that currently hold OHAS


18001 certification have until 11th March 2021 to complete a successful migration. y
