What is ISO 45001:2018?

ISO 45001:2018 dictates the steps for an occupational health and safety (OHSAS) management system, and lays out the plan for its use, this enables organizations to come out with safe and healthy workplaces by blocking work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OHSAS performance.

Overview

OHSAS ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001 are similar in regards to the occupational health and safety management. They both are applicable to all organizations that wish to implement, maintain and establish an OHSAS management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and reduce the risks involved in OHSAS (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OHSAS opportunities and address OHSAS management system nonconformities associated with its activities.

ISO 45001 Requirements

The implementation of ISO 45001 safety management system requires certain steps taken by the employers for the certification. These steps are:

  • Proper distribution of commitment, responsibilities and accountability to the top management leadership.
  • Top management developing, leading and promoting a culture in the organization that supports the intended outcomes of the OHSAS management system.
  • Proper and periodic consultation and participation of workers, and, where they exist, workers’ representatives in the organization.
  • Systematic allocation of the necessary resources for maintenance.
  • Implementation of OHSAS policies, which are compatible with the overall strategic objectives and direction of the organization.
  • Predefined processes for identifying hazards, controlling OHSAS risks and taking advantage of OHSAS opportunities.
