What is ISO 45001:2018
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It is designed to help organisations proactively identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls to protect employees, contractors, and visitors from workplace-related injuries and illnesses.
The standard focuses on risk-based thinking, worker participation, leadership commitment, and continual improvement of health and safety performance. ISO 45001 replaces OHSAS 18001 and follows a high-level structure, making it easy to integrate with other management system standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
