HOW CAN ISO 45001 HELP HOSPITALS?

With the advancement in medical sciences, it is obvious that the hospitals are always busy in providing healthcare services to the population for their longer and healthier lives. Thus, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of our hospitals becomes the top priority. Setting certain benchmarks to achieve these objectives creates an awareness among every associated individual regarding the maintenance of quality standards. In this regard, ISO 45001 certification helps to maintain occupational health and safety of the hospitals. It is a revamped version of OHSAS 18001.

Let us look at some of the features of ISO 45001 Certification that makes the hospitals safe for patients as well as staff:

  • Employee engagement: For the successful implementation and management of internal processes, it is important that the employees are consulted while making decisions regarding the occupational health and safety of the hospitals. Their participation also helps in identifying unknown risks and opportunities. By making the staff aware, a culture of health and safety can be maintained in the hospitals.
  • Awareness training: A fully informed staff ensures the maintenance of the culture of health and safety within the hospital. This also includes informing them about their roles and responsibilities regarding the implementation of occupational health and safety off the hospitals.
  • Corrective action: The continual improvement of the occupational health and safety of the hospitals can be undertaken only through regular reviews, followed by analysing gaps and closing them through corrective actions. This ensures non-recurrence of any accidents. Risk assessment is the key tool of ISO 45001 that helps in preventing or mitigating any unfortunate event. The potential risks can only be identified by consulting all the interested parties- staffs, patients, visitors or suppliers.
  • A germ-free environment: It is important to keep certain areas, if not all, sanitized and germ-free in a hospital. Treatment of infectious diseases are done in a contained environment so that the vulnerable population, such as elderly are prevented from exposure. For maintaining such safe zones, it is important that the staff are well-trained and aware of the guidelines of occupational health and safety management system. It also helps in managing the visitor access.
  • Accidents: The OHSMS aims at preventing slips, trips, bumps and bruises in the hospital environment. For that features such as no-slip floor tile, well-fitted bathroom handrails, minimal sharp edges, etc. should be incorporated. An ISO 45001 certification gives the confidence that the hospital has undertaken all such steps that are required for the health and safety of the hospital environment, and is capable of protecting anyone who has entered its premises.

Not just for maintaining the OHSMS in the hospital, ISO 45001 also helps in meeting all the regulatory requirements.
