ISO 45001:2018
Occupational Health and Safety Management System

ISO 45001 is an International Standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, with guidance for its use, to enable an organisation to proactively improve its OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health. ISO 45001 is intended to be applicable to any organisation regardless of its size, type and nature. ISO 45001 enables an organisation, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing; however, it should be noted that an organisation can be required by applicable legal requirements to also address such issues.

Benefits of ISO 45001:2018 :

• Establishing operational controls to manage its OH&S risks and its legal and other requirements.
• increasing awareness of its OH&S risks.
• Evaluating its OH&S performance and seeking to improve it, through taking appropriate actions.
