ISO 45001

ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It provides a structured framework for organizations to proactively manage workplace health and safety risks, prevent accidents, and promote a safe and healthy work environment for employees, contractors, and visitors.

The standard is designed to help organizations of all sizes and sectors identify hazards, assess risks, and implement effective control measures. By integrating a risk-based approach, ISO 45001 enables organizations to anticipate potential safety issues and take preventive actions, ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements.

ISO 45001 also emphasizes employee participation and leadership engagement, promoting a safety culture where everyone takes responsibility for occupational health and safety. The standard aligns with other ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, making it easier to integrate safety management into overall business operations.
