ISO 45001:2018
One of the most important human resources problems encountered in businesses is that employees do not have a safe and healthy working environment. In order for businesses to achieve better competitive conditions, employees should carry out planned and systematic studies on occupational health and safety.
Standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 focused on quality and environmental management, so a separate standard was required to ensure occupational health and safety in enterprises and to protect them by continuous improvement. Occupational Health and Safety, which is one of the most important issues in integration with the European Union, also includes nearly all the requirements of this standard in the Labor Law.
