ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System
ISO 45001:2018 establishes a comprehensive framework for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management Systems. This globally recognized standard outlines the requirements for creating, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an OHS management system. It aims to ensure compliance with current legal requirements while enhancing internal operations and reducing workplace accidents.
ISO 45001:2018 is designed to help organizations foster safer and healthier work environments by preventing work-related injuries and illnesses and proactively improving overall OHS performance. It supersedes the previous OHSAS 18001 standard, with organizations holding OHSAS 18001:2007 certification required to transition to ISO 45001:2018 by March 11, 2021.
