What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the new international standard that provides organizations with a framework to enhance employee safety, reduce workplace risks and make better, safer working conditions.

ISO 45001 may be a forthcoming ISO standard that will codify the wants for occupational health and safety management systems everywhere on the planet. The new standard was inspired by OHSAS 18001 (commonly mentioned as ISO 18001), a British standard that so far has been applied internationally, when it’s brought into effect, ISO 45001 will effectively be a more context-focused version of the prevailing OHSAS 18001 standard.

It is risk-based and uses the familiar ‘plan-do-check-act’ approach, alongside the high-level structure common to all or any new management system standards.
Our profession and an increasing number of organizations understand that good safety and health are quite a benefit to workers – it’s a core business value and a cornerstone of a civilized society.

A world standard for effective risk management will tackle the worldwide toll of safety and health failures, protecting working people worldwide and reducing the value to the worldwide economy.

At the equivalent time, it’ll help organizations to enhance their reputation, resilience, and results.

How does this affect organizations?

  • If you’re already OHSAS 18001 certified: you’ll decide that your existing, OHSAS 18001-certified health and safety management system (HSMS) is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of your business. If so, you’ll decide that ISO 45001 accreditation isn’t a priority for your organization. However, it’s going to be worth meeting with an ISO 45001 consultant after the final publication to work out whether your HSMS might be improved by being brought into line with the new standard.

  • If you’re NOT already OHSAS 18001 certified: Health and safety should be a key area of concern for any modern business, and once ISO 4500 has been published, you ought to seriously consider implementing a health and safety management system that meets the new standard. this may help to guard you and your workers, and also as instill confidence in potential customers, new recruits, shareholders, etc.
