ManagementSystems)is a new workplace safety standard which replacesOHSAS 18001.  \nWorkplace injuries and health issues can have a significant im-pact on workplace productivity.Direct costs of workplace in-juries include increased worker’s insurance premiums,finesand downtime for injured workers or damaged equipment aswell as costs for replacement staffing,and other resources —not to mention the moral obligations and loss of orders.  \nThe indirect impact is far less tangible.Workplace injuries of-ten lead to low morale and employee turnover,reducedproductivity,and difficulty complying with regulations.Or-ganisations with a high number of workplace injuries andhealth concerns may struggle to capture a share of the growingmarket of consumers,concerned with the overall reputationof an organisation—not just their product quality.A healthand safety management standard strives to improve produc-tivity and overall organisation well-being by addressing con-cerns that could lead to negative outcomes.  \nAlthough many of the ISO management standards emphasiseemployee knowledge and participation,ISO 45001 goes evenfurther.It will be a requirement to focus on employee partici-pation.Some of the clauses contained within the new stand-ard,such as 'Context of the Organisation'and 'Leadership’,  \nspecifically address the role employees have in developing theoccupational health and safety management system alongsidetop management and staff  \n# STRUCTURE OF THE STANDARD\n\nCLAUSE1:SCOPE  \nClause 1 of the standard sets out the intended results of themanagement programme defines any industry-specific re-quirements and addresses the processes and job functions thatwill be affected by the management standard.  \n# CLAUSE 2:NORMATIVE REFERENCES\n\nDetails any other standards used as references.  \n# CLAUSE 3:TERMS &DEFINITIONS\n\nDefines specific terms used within the standard,for example:  \nInterested party:Person who can affect,be affected by,orperceive itself to be affected by a decision or activity.  \nInjury and ill health:Adverse effect on the physical,men-tal,or cognitive condition of a person.  \n#
