In short

ISO 45001 certification in Atlanta at a glance

A distribution centre on the edge of Atlanta runs forklifts, dock doors and trailers around the clock, and its customers, some of the biggest names in supply chain, ask what the operator does about injuries. ISO 45001 offers a structured reply: consultation with workers, hazard identification and risk assessment, operational controls, emergency preparedness, incident investigation and continual improvement. Airline cargo handling and redevelopment projects add ramp and construction hazards. Principal contractors and shippers use the certificate to prequalify trades and carriers. Sterling's New York office builds the system with supervisors, begins with the hazard walk-through, trains staff through Sterling Academy and prepares the accredited certification body's audit. The legal duties under OSHA are covered on the United States page. Local questions follow.

Requirements

What ISO 45001 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO 45001 requires a company to prove six things about keeping its people safe and healthy at work.

Leadership takes responsibility for safetyTop management is accountable for preventing work-related injury and ill health, and sets a policy and objectives to do so.
Workers have a real sayWorkers and their representatives are consulted and take part in decisions on hazards, controls, incidents and the system itself.
You know the hazards and the risksHazards are identified on an ongoing basis, risks are assessed, and health and safety legal requirements are known and met.
Controls follow the right orderRisks are reduced using the hierarchy of controls, from eliminating the hazard down to protective equipment, including for contractors.
You are prepared for emergenciesEmergency situations are identified, response plans are in place, people are trained and drills are carried out.
Incidents lead to learningIncidents and nonconformities are investigated, causes are corrected, and performance is monitored, audited and reviewed.

ISO 45001 in Atlanta: questions clients ask

Which Atlanta employers are asked for ISO 45001 evidence?

Warehouse and distribution operators, carriers and contractors who supply the large shippers and headquarters-based companies the Metro Atlanta Chamber lists. Their customers prequalify suppliers on safety performance, and an ISO 45001 certificate is a recognised way to answer that request.

What is the first practical step toward ISO 45001?

A hazard identification and risk assessment of each activity, carried out with the workers who do it. That consultation is a core requirement, and it usually reveals quick wins on traffic management, manual handling and lock-out before the system documents are written.
