Impact of ISO 45001 Implementation on Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Case Study of NCA Rouiba.
Abstract
This research explored the impact of ISO 45001:2018 implementation on occupational health and safety (OHS) management at NCA Rouiba, a company specializing in the production of non-alcoholic beverages. Questionnaires were distributed to 100 employees out of 434, representing all levels of the organization across three professional categories : managers, supervisors, and operational staff. The results showed that the adoption of ISO 45001 significantly improved OHS performance indicators, including the reduction of workplace accidents. The standard reinforced existing prevention measures and introduced new ones, improving overall risk prevention practices. Employees' perception of safety in the workplace improved after the implementation of ISO 45001, as confirmed by the responses to the questionnaire. The structured approach of ISO 45001 has enabled NCA Rouiba to strengthen its preventive measures, increase employee involvement and create a safer working environment. While progress in OHS management is evident, the study underlines the importance of continuous improvement efforts to maintain and build on these achievements, aiming for excellence in workplace safety at NCA Rouiba
