Certification of Control and management of infectious diseases

The ISO 45006 standard addresses the challenges relating to the prevention and management of infectious diseases in the workplace. The guidelines it provides are essential for any organization that wishes to control the risks related to infectious diseases, including those that present a serious disease or death hazard for workers, or a lower risk for health but with a significant impact on the company, its employees and other relevant stakeholders. The AENOR certification for the control and management of infectious diseases based on this standard is applicable to organisations of all sizes and from all sectors.

Key points to control infectious diseases:

Complement to standards ISO 45001 and ISO 45003

The AENOR certification "Management of Infectious Diseases" complements the ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 standards. It allows us to address both the physical and psychological risks associated with infectious diseases, and promotes the health and well-being of workers.
