On March 12, 2018 the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management standard was published which over the next three years will replace OHSAS 18001. The ISO 45001 standard has been written to the same framework as the ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 Management System Standards.

 

All standards provide a framework that any organization can use to identify and effectively control its occupational health and safety risks.

 

Achieving compliance with ISO 45001 will typically involve identifying the most significant health and safety hazards in the business and taking appropriate action to manage these. All health and safety legislation applicable to a business and its activities must also be identified, documented and complied with. 

 

Certification in ISO 45001 demonstrates to all stakeholders of an organization that your health and safety management system has been independently assessed and conforms to international standards for health and safety practice in the workplace.
