What is ISO 45001:2018?
ISO 45001:2018 is the internationally recognized standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OH&S). It provides a framework that enables organizations to proactively identify and manage health and safety risks in the workplace, aiming to prevent injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
The standard promotes a strong safety culture, worker participation, legal compliance, and continuous improvement. It replaces OHSAS 18001 and aligns with other ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for easier integration.
ISO 45001 is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations, helping them create safer, healthier, and more resilient working environments.
Achieving certification demonstrates your organization’s commitment to protecting employees, reducing operational risk, and meeting regulatory and stakeholder expectations related to workplace safety.

Oil, Gas, and Energy
