ISO Opening Workshop to Integrate ISO26000 with management system for ISO members to participate

International Standard Organisation gained the approval from the Technical Management Board and will launch two workshops in March and April of 2017, with the aim of publishing an International Workshop Agreement (IWA) to help users to have a better understanding on how can be done. All the ISO members are invited to participate.

ISO 26000 is a universal guidance on how business and corporation can operate in a social responsible way. In other words, it provides a clear guidance on how to contribute to the health and welfare of the society in an ethical and transparent way.

It was launched in 2010 with 5 years of negotiation between di�erent stakeholders across the world, including government, consumer groups, non-government organisation, etc. ISO26000 is being used increasingly as a measure of the overall performance of an organisation

However, ISO26000 is not a requirement standard nor a management system standard which means it cannot be certi�ed. The main focus of ISO 26000 is in clarifying what social responsibility is, and to facilitate the business and corporations translate principles into e�ective actions and provide a platform with no boundary for �rms to share the best practices relating to social responsibility.

Improve RTS performance Establish, implement and maintain a RTSM System (RTSMS)

ISO 39001 is a management system for the safety of road traffic whose purpose is to reduce the number of serious and fatal accidents.

This standard is applicable to public and private sectors that interact with RTS. Participated organizations must have the following processes: evaluates the accident details; provides a continuous improvement of the traffic safety and evaluates the events that are in connection with the road traffic safety.

ISO 39001 also has a social role: safer mobility and in accordance with the requirements of the standard brings security benefits for the whole society. That’s why, as all of the new generation standards, ISO 39001 contributes to the Societal Security.

The �rst draft of ISO 45001 released in May 2016 and received over 3000 comments during the ballot. In September 2016, a professional technical group was formed to review the collected comments. The comments were mainly about two aspects, including the de�nition of key terms and amendments of some unclear area. The project committee meeting was held in November 2016. They reviewed the work done by the technical group in the previous months.

After the amendment by the technical group, the 2nd draft of ISO 45001 will be released and a ballot section will be conducted in April 2017. The project committee will review the comments of the ballot in September 2017. They proposed the earliest possible publication of ISO 45001 could be announced in November 2017. If there are any major amendments, the publication could be delayed to March 2018.
