What is ESOS?

10,000 of the UK’s largest businesses have to comply with the new Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and conduct a mandatory energy audit across buildings, transport and industrial operations by December 2019.

Any company with more than 250 staff, or less than 250 staff but a turnover of over €50m and balance sheet exceeding €43m, must comply with ESOS or face fines. It also applies to smaller companies who are part of a corporate group which includes a business which meets those non-SME criteria.

Businesses can’t afford to ignore ESOS – compliance is not optional.  More importantly, any delay in action could mean potential savings go unrealised. Often, the potential savings outweigh the cost of compliance.

This webinar took place on the 8^th March at 11am. This webinar covered the following: –

• What is ESOS?
• Routes of ESOS compliance
• Energy Audits
• ISO 50001 route to compliance

• What is ISO 45001:2018? – More about this international standard and how to build a management system for managing occupational health in your workplace.
• What’s the difference between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001? – The replacement process and how the two overlap.

What is ISO 45001:2018?

ISO 45001: is the globally recognised Health and Safety Standard. Occupational health and safety in the workplace is always a major concern for all organisations. Having an occupational health and safety management system will help you to protect your most important asset; your people.

ISO 45001 provides a robust set of requirements designed for improving workplace safety in organisations and supply chains, with the aim of reducing workplace injury and illness.

ISO 45001 replaces BS OHSAS 18001, the former British standard for workplace health and safety. If you are already certified to OHSAS 18001, you will have three years to migrate to the new standard.

Why is ISO 45001:2018 Important?

Hazard and Risk Identification – ISO 45001 enables organisations to systematically identify hazards, assess associated risks, and apply effective control measures—resulting in a measurable reduction in workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents.

Commitment to your People – Adopting ISO 45001 sends a clear message to both employees and external stakeholders that the organisation is genuinely committed to safeguarding worker health, safety, and overall wellbeing. This not only enhances morale and staff retention but also strengthens the organisation’s reputation.

Legal Compliance – The standard also supports legal compliance by ensuring conformity with relevant OH&S legislation and regulatory requirements. Its proactive, risk-based approach can further lead to operational efficiencies and may contribute to reduced insurance costs over time.

Build the Resilience of your Organisation – By embedding emergency preparedness and response protocols into the management system, ISO 45001 helps build organisational resilience and ensures a swift, coordinated reaction to safety-related threats or crises.

Continuous Improvement for your Organisation – Importantly, ISO 45001 follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, promoting continual improvement and long-term enhancement of health and safety performance across the organisation.
