ISO 45003 is now Live

The ISO 45003 standard Occupational health and safety management– Psychological health and safety at work– Guidelines for managing psychosocial risks was published on 6th June 2021.

Designed to complement the ISO 45001 standard on Occupational health and safety management systems it will also help users to develop and support some of its requirements.

Psychosocial issues were growing in currency before the current COVID 19 pandemic with organisations and regulators.

Norma McCormick, Project Leader of the ISO technical committee said “Every organization has occupational health and safety responsibilities, and the current pandemic has brought into sharp focus the important role that psychological health in the workplace plays.

While many have felt powerless about the impact of recent events, there are many things that can be done to build the resilience of staff and promote a strong organisational culture. This standard brings together international best practice in this area and is relevant to companies of all types and sizes.”
