ISO 45001:2018 Certification – Occupational Health & Safety Management
Safeguard your employees, reduce workplace risks, and ensure legal compliance with ISO 45001:2018 – the first global standard dedicated to occupational health and safety.
What is ISO 45001:2018?
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), published in March 2018. It replaces the older OHSAS 18001 and aligns with the Annex SL framework, making it fully compatible with ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environment).
The standard provides a structured approach to:
- Prevent work-related injuries and ill-health
- Improve employee wellbeing and morale
- Comply with legal and regulatory safety requirements
- Foster a culture of risk-based thinking and continual improvement
ISO 45001 applies to all organizations—manufacturing, construction, healthcare, logistics, services, and more—regardless of size or industry.
