ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard that specifies requirements for occupational health and safety management systems (OH&S). It provides a framework for organizations to proactively manage and improve their occupational health and safety performance. Published in March 2018, ISO 45001 replaces the previous OHSAS 18001 standard and aligns with the High-Level Structure (HLS) for management system standards, making it easier for organizations to integrate OH&S management with other management systems like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

The standard emphasizes the identification of occupational health and safety risks, effective hazard control measures, and a commitment to continuous improvement. It requires organizations to establish policies and objectives, conduct risk assessments, ensure legal compliance, and involve workers in the development and implementation of the OH&S management system. ISO 45001 aims to create safer and healthier workplaces by providing a systematic approach to managing occupational health and safety risks, thereby reducing the likelihood of workplace accidents and improving overall employee well-being.
