Introduction
The British Standards Institution (BSI) has highlighted that workplace safety and health have become a decisive factor for Mexican companies to integrate into global supply chains and participate in international projects.
Beyond Operational Requirement
According to BSI experts, effective risk management in the workplace serves as a filter determining an organization’s ability to meet international standards, protect its employees, and ensure operational continuity.
Standards such as ISO 45001:2018 have become essential for meeting the requirements of international companies.
Adoption of Models for Global Collaboration
The adoption of these models facilitates collaboration with companies from other countries and enhances trust in the supply chain, according to BSI specialists.
Mental Well-being: A Critical Challenge
More than 80% of working individuals report stress, and one in four has sought leave due to psychological reasons in the past year. This, combined with absenteeism and turnover, impacts productivity and limits competitiveness.
Globally, the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that depression and anxiety result in the loss of 12,000 million working days annually. This trend underscores the importance of adopting systems that protect individuals and ensure more stable operations.
Benefits of Implementing Safety and Health Systems
Despite the perception that safety is a cost in Mexico, international experiences demonstrate that implementing models like ISO 45001 reduces incidents, improves processes, and has become a key filter for participating in international tenders and alliances.
Importance for Mexican Companies
For Mexican companies interested in participating in international tenders, contracts, or alliances, the adoption of workplace safety and health management systems often appears as an evaluation criterion.
In this process, specialized organizations have assisted local companies in interpreting and applying ISO 45001:2018, providing technical expertise and aligning with global standards.
Strengthened Collaboration
The collaboration, supported by the British Embassy in Mexico, has further strengthened the exchange of experiences between UK and Mexican companies, enabling the adaptation of standards to local realities and enhancing capabilities for competing in increasingly interconnected markets.
