What Is ISO 45001?
Occupational Health & Safety Management System
ISO 45001:2018 is a globally recognized standard that provides a robust framework for establishing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&S MS). This standard helps organizations comply with relevant health and safety legislation and stakeholder requirements, ensuring a safe and healthy work environment for employees, contractors, customers, and visitors. By implementing ISO 45001, organizations can identify and control health and safety risks, prevent work-related injuries and illnesses, and improve productivity. This voluntary standard is widely adopted by international corporations, retailers, and government regulatory authorities, and its implementation demonstrates an organization’s commitment to meeting customer and stakeholder expectations. The ultimate goal of ISO 45001 is to develop a robust system that eliminates or minimizes occupational health and safety risks. As part of the ISO family, this standard is recognized worldwide, and accredited certification bodies issue certificates accepted globally.
