# ISO 45001 Awareness

> Understand the structure and purpose of ISO 45001 and how organisations manage occupational health and safety risks. This mentor-led course uses practical scenarios to explain OH&S management systems, leadership roles, and continual improvement.

## Overview

ISO 45001 is the internationally recognised standard for occupational health and safety management systems. This one-day awareness course provides a clear, practical introduction to the structure, core principles, and organisational value of implementing the ISO 45001 framework.

Delivered through mentor-led sessions, the programme explains the key clauses of the standard in a structured and accessible way. Learners explore leadership responsibilities, worker participation, hazard identification, and risk assessment practices that support an effective OH&S management system. Through practical scenarios, participants examine emergency planning, incident investigation, and operational controls that strengthen workplace safety.
