ISO 45001:2018 Certification

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001:2018 is the replacement to OHSAS 18001 and is the international ISO standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). ISO 45001 is the world's international standard for occupational health and safety, issued to shield employees and visitors from work-related accidents and diseases. ISO 45001 has the final goal of helping businesses provide a healthy and safe working environment for their employees and everyone else who visits the workplace. This aim can be achieved by controlling factors that could potentially lead to injury, illness and — in extreme situations - even death. As a result, ISO 45001 is concerned with mitigating any factors that are harmful or that pose a danger to workers' physical and/or mental well-being. ISO 45001 is the latest certification specification for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.” It was developed in response to widespread demand for a recognized standard against which to be certified and assessed.” It is based on already published criteria such as BS 8800 and the Management Regulations 1992. OHSAS 18001 is an audit/certification specification, not a legislative requirement or a guide to implementation.
