ISO 45001 Core Team Member
The International Organization of Standardization 45001 is adding hazard awareness along with record keeping, legislation and staying up to date with OSHA standards. Being on the core team we would meet weekly working on the standards coming up with a plan to bring it to the front line colleagues. Audits would be conducted to prove we are within the required limits of the standards. We would meet with Corporate once a month to keep them up on our progress since the 45001 was new to our plant. It added to the already in place ISO 14001- being Environmental and the ISO 9001- being Quality Management. Improving performance regarding those requirements.
