What’s this webinar about?

The first event on Day One of our chase-the-sun series on key OH&S topics, this webinar explores not only why psychological health, safety and well-being should be at the heart of OH&S, but also the importance of recognizing different risks and needs. With an introduction to ISO 45003, the first global standard on this topic,  we discussed how organizations can identify and manage psychosocial risks taking into account how this varies for different workers depending on individual characteristics and other factors.  Our experts will offer practical, easily implemented approaches and tips for ensuring no worker is left unprotected.

What’s this webinar about?

The third chase-the-sun OH&S webinar on Day One in this series is a wide-ranging discussion on the accessibility and inclusivity of OH&S standards. The development process seeks to be as transparent as possible, so in this session the people who write the international OH&S standards are asking you: Are they protecting everyone and are there ways to make them more inclusive? Does the ISO 45000 family of standards currently work for non-traditional business models? Do the standards give enough direction to ensure the needs of all types of workers are taken into account? Is the language right for all types of users?

It looked at the different tools available to help you, the importance of focusing on effectiveness rather than just conformity and compliance and how to determine the best approach for  stronger results.

It explores the potential to change attitudes to accepting disruption from common infectious diseases such as influenza;  the range of diseases we need to think about; how to plan and be prepared for  outbreaks of less common or new diseases; and how to embed infectious disease management into your OH&S management system. This session introduces ISO 45006, due to publish in 2023, which provides guidance on preventing and managing infectious diseases.
