A common query we are asked to clarify is the difference between ISO 14001<\/a> and ISO 45001<\/a>. Although these standards do have some similarities, they deal fundamentally with different environments.<\/p>\n ISO 14001<\/a> covers the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS), placing focus on an organisation\u2019s impact on the external environment<\/strong>. The standard aims to reduce an organisation\u2019s waste, pollution and energy consumption.<\/p>\n ISO 45001<\/a>, on the other hand, focuses on an organisation’s internal environment<\/strong>. Whilst ISO 14001<\/a> requires the implementation of an EMS, ISO 45001<\/a> is based on an OHSMS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System). Getting certified in ISO 14001<\/a> displays a commitment to the environment, while ISO 45001<\/a> shows a commitment to your employees – so why not implement both?<\/p>\n Have more questions about ISO 45001<\/a>?
