ISO 45001 – Occupational health and safety
ISO 45001 is the new international standard for occupational health & safety which replaces the British Standard OHSAS 18001:2007.
Health and safety in the workplace are the top concerns of most businesses, yet still deaths and injuries occur. ISO 45001 sets the minimum standard of practice to protect employees worldwide.
ISO 45001 concentrates on the interaction between an organization and its business environment while OHSAS 18001 was focused on managing OH&S hazards and other internal issues. But the standards also diverge in many other ways:
ISO 45001 is process based whereas OHSAS 18001 is procedure based It is dynamic in all clauses and OHSAS 18001 is not It considers both risk and opportunities – OHSAS 18001 deals only with risk It includes the views of interested parties – OHSAS 18001 does not
These points represent a significant shift in the way health and safety management is perceived. Although the two standards vary in their approach, a management system established in accordance with OHSAS 18001 will be a solid platform for migrating to ISO 45001.
