Velocity EHS expert Phil Molé will take you on a deep dive into ISO 45001, the internationally recognized standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). Developed with insights from global safety leaders, ISO 45001 delivers a powerful framework to strengthen compliance, enhance workplace safety and reduce risks. Organizations that adopt ISO 45001 experience measurable reductions in workplace injuries and foster a culture of safety. Despite these benefits, many EHS professionals struggle with misconceptions and face challenges in aligning their OHSMS with the standard. Gain critical insights to bridge the gap and drive meaningful improvements in your organization and take away actionable strategies you can apply whether you’re implementing the standard for the first time or optimizing system.
