ISO 45003 is the latest standard in ISO’s occupational health & safety series to be published and it has a focus on managing psychosocial risks at work.
With many people (workers) experiencing significant stress and uncertainty due to the global pandemic, this standard arrives at the perfect time to help employers support the mental health and wellbeing of their staff.
While many employers implement good schemes such as Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) or Mental Health First Aider Training, the real benefit of ISO 45003 is its structured risk-based approach to psychological health and safety at work.
The new standard also aligns to the common Annex SL structure and therefore can easily be integrated with the more broadly scoped ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.
