ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) that provides organizations with a structured framework to enhance employee safety, minimize workplace risks, and promote safer working conditions. It applies universally across industries and organizations of all sizes, following the High-Level Structure (HLS) common to other ISO standards like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The standard emphasizes a risk-based approach, active leadership involvement, worker participation, and continual improvement to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses. Implementing ISO 45001 helps organizations reduce accidents, ensure legal compliance, improve employee morale, and potentially lower insurance costs.
