ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard

Introduction to ISO 45001

ISO 45001 is an international standard that sets requirements for an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). The standard is designed to help organizations of all sizes and industries create a safe and healthy workplace for their employees and others who may be affected by their activities. The standard provides a framework for managing occupational health and safety risks and opportunities, and for continually improving the OHSMS to enhance performance.

The ISO 45001 standard outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The standard is based on the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” model, which involves a cycle of continuous improvement

This includes taking into account the organization’s context, the needs and expectations of workers and other stakeholders, and compliance with applicable legal and other requirements.

The ISO 45001 standard also requires that organizations establish and maintain an OHSMS that conforms to the standard’s requirements. This involves defining policies and objectives for the OHSMS, and establishing processes for planning, implementing, evaluating, and continually improving the OHSMS.
