What Is ISO 45001 and How Does the IRISITY Video Analysis Solution Enhance the Process?
The zero-accident target in the workplace is no longer just a slogan, but a matter of a measurable system. While ISO 45001 provides a universal framework to establish this system, IRISITY's AI-supported video analytics brings this framework to the field.
What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 is a global standard designed for occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2018. Replacing the previous OHSAS 18001 standard, this document sets forth a systematic framework to prevent occupational accidents, occupational diseases, and hazardous incidents.
ISO 45001 is an international management system standard that defines the policies, processes, and controls organizations must implement to provide a healthy and safe working environment for their employees.

-
6
Planning Identifying risks and opportunities, establishing OHS objectives.
-

Why is it Important?
According to World Health Organization data, approximately 2.3 million workers die every year due to occupational accidents or work-related diseases. Economic losses correspond to 4% of global GDP. To change this picture, ISO 45001 centers on proactive risk management instead of a reactive (post-accident intervention) approach.
Legal Compliance: Reduces Regulatory Risk
Systematizes compliance with occupational safety regulations.
Cost: Reduces Accident Costs
Minimizes compensation, production downtime, and reputation losses.
Employee: Increases Participation
A safe environment directly affects motivation and productivity.
Competition: Supply Chain Assurance
Provides trust and reputation in global supplier relationships.
IRISITY Video Analytics: The Digital Partner of ISO 45001
While ISO 45001 answers the question of "what should be done", the question of "how to prove it" often remains unanswered. IRISITY's AI-supported video analytics platform bridges this gap by transforming existing security camera infrastructure into a real-time OHS monitoring system.

Conclusion
While ISO 45001 offers an approach that places employee safety at the center of the management system, IRISITY provides the technology that reflects this approach in the field. The standard defines the "intent"; video analytics produces the proof of this intent. The combined use of these two elements not only increases audit success but also builds a genuine safety culture that prevents accidents, learns, and improves.
