The future of health and safety in the workplace

In our rapidly changing world, organisations need to adapt to survive, whether in response to societal or consumer trends, the climate emergency, or geopolitical change.

Demographic change, increased urbanisation and scarcity in resources will require adjustments to our OH&S management systems to manage new risks and changing levels of risk. Alongside these wider trends, organisations also need to respond to the emerging issues that are more specific to OH&S management.

In this eBook, Martin Cottam, Chair of the ISO Technical Committee for Occupational Health & Safety Management explores some of these trends and considers how these will affect our workplaces and the implications for the ISO 45000 series of standards.
