Integrated protection model: ISO 45001 as a future of safety and health standards

Abstract

Along with the increase in awareness of the importance of human resources and their contribution to the value of the organization, there is a growing awareness of the need for their management. The fact that modern society prescribes by the law that organizations must identify dangers and hazards, risk level that may arise, as well as their management and implementation of consistent measures to reduce their impact, shows the importance that is attributed to this issue.For the effective implementation of laws in the field of health and safety at work and other necessary protective measures, there has been a need for a systematic approach to management in this area. Systematic approach to management in the field of health and safety at work ensures the implementation of all measures necessary for the safe operation thus protecting both employees and organization. This systematic approach is reflected in the current standard oHSAS 18001, which aims to establish control over the risks that carry harmful potentials, and thus ensuring the continuity of operation of the organization.The focus of the scientific community which is actively working on improving the existing standards in the field of safety and health of employees is focused on the upcoming standard that will replace oHSAS 18001. The upcoming standard places a greater emphasis on the risk management and the ongoing assessment of risks and opportunities to prevent or reduce side effects. The innovations in this standard are reflected in the strengthening of the role of top management and top management as well as in the context of the "organization" itself. ISo 45001 provides for active participation of management in all processes of health and safety at work and tends to reduce the usage of process of delegated responsibility to one manager, while, on the other hand, the organization looks at the broader, i.e., the requirements of the wider community are taken into account.

Legal framework and application of standards as influential factors of management of the occupational safety and health system in textile organizations

“…Of particular importance is the improvement of the working environment [27], as well as the continuous implementation of safety procedures in the implementation of business processes [28][29][30][31]. It is also important to involve employees at all levels of communication [12][13][14].…”

“…For the sake of eff ective application of laws in the fi eld of safety and health at work and other necessary protection measures, the need for a systemic approach to management in this area has emerged [12]. The attention that is being paid more and more to health and safety at work is precisely the result of strict legal requirements and interests of interested parties in reducing work injuries, sick days, etc.…”

Integrated Safety Management System

“…By applying a process approach when implementing ISO standards, respecting the good sides of the organization's business and adopting them as the examples of good practice, by designing and defining opportunities for improvement, where opportunities or needs are met, the organization will have a good foundation for achieving long-term economic prosperity. Certainly, the top management of the organization has major benefits of setting up and applying ISO standards [10]. In a properly established system, it is possible to achieve a more efficient and effective operation if we clearly define the processes, their interdependencies, parameters of their effectiveness, responsibilities and authorizations for all direct executives in the organization, and above all, if we respect defined business rules.…”
