這是一篇來自ISO官網關于ISO45001的編譯文章，闡述了新標準的最新進展、為什么會成為ISO標準以及擁有ISO標準能獲得什么好處，看到這里小編才發現自己的英文爛透了。君們自己看吧~

Voting has begun on draft ISO 45001, which sets the requirements for anoccupational health and safety management system. 

ISO45001，這一為職業健康和安全管理體系設立要求的新標準草案稿已經正式進入投票階段。

ISO 45001 is currently at the committee draft stage of development, thefirst consultation phase. During this stage, the countries (ISO members) thathave chosen to participate in the standard's development have two months toform a national position on the draft and comment on it.
ISO45001現已進入委員會草案稿第一討論階段。在這個階段里，被選擇參與到標準制定的ISO成員各個國家將有兩個月的時間對草案形成國家意見并作出評價。

Why an ISO standard?
為什么會成為ISO標準？

According to the International Labour Organization, around 2.34 millionpeople died as a result of work-related accidents and diseases in 2013.Approximately 2 million are the result of work-related illnesses and321 000 are due to accidents.
根據國際勞工組織的統計，2013年大約有234萬人死于工作相關的事故和疾病，其中大約有200萬源自工作相關的疾病，32萬1千是源于事故。

A strong occupational health and safety management system can bring thesenumbers down by reducing accidents and ill health linked to the workplace. Thiswill in turn create a positive corporate culture as employees feel their needsand safety are being taken into account. It can also help organizations toavoid costly prosecutions and might even reduce insurance costs.
一個強有力的職業健康和安全管理體系能夠通過減少工作場所相關的事故和不健康隱患使這個數字大為減少。同時，也可以創造一個積極正面的讓員工感覺被需要其安全受到重視的企業文化。更有甚者，能夠幫助組織減少價格不菲的相關賠償甚至可以降低保險費用。

ISO 45001 provides requirements to put in place a system and structure thatprotects and reduces risk to employees. Having an ISO standard has some addedbenefits:
ISO45001為建立一套保護和減少員工風險的體系和系統提出了要求，而擁有ISO標準能在以下方面獲益：

ISO brings together internationalexpertise. Nearly 70 countries are involved in the development of ISO 45001 asparticipants or observers through their ISO members.
ISO擁有國際性的專業知識。通過ISO成員組織，有近70個國家以參與方或者觀察員的方式參與到ISO45001的發展中來。

Many organizations are already usingISO management system standards, which will make integrating a similar standardon occupational health and safety much easier.
許多組織現在已經是ISO管理體系標準的使用者，這將更加使其與其他職業健康安全標準的整合更加容易。

Often small businesses have only oneperson looking after both safety and environmental concerns, so the committeeis making sure that easy integration with ISO 14001 is possible.
許多小企業或許只有一個人員在管理安全以及環境方面的事宜，所以委員會也更加關注與ISO14001相整合的可能性。

ISO standards are recognized aroundthe world, which will encourage more organizations to adopt ISO 45001.
ISO標準是全球認可的標準，這將鼓勵更多的組織貫標ISO45001。

ISO 45001 is being developed by ISO project committee ISO/PC 283, Occupationalhealth and safety management systems. The Secretariat is currently held bythe ISO member for the United Kingdom, BSI.
ISO45001標準目前由ISO/PC283委員會——職業健康與安全管理體系負責開發。秘書處設在ISO英國成員單位。
