In short: ISO 45003 gives practical guidance on managing psychosocial risks as part of an occupational health and safety management system.
ISO has published ISO 45003:2021, Occupational health and safety management — Psychological health and safety at work — Guidelines for managing psychosocial risks.
What it covers
The standard helps organizations identify and manage psychosocial hazards — such as workload, work organization, social factors, and the work environment — within the framework of ISO 45001.
- Identifying psychosocial hazards and assessing the risks
- Implementing controls and promoting wellbeing at work
- Supporting workers affected by psychosocial risks
- Monitoring, measuring and improving performance
Occupational health and safety professionals can build this into their management systems — see the COHSP certification.
