Occupational Health & Safety

Protect your people, reduce workplace incidents, and meet legal health and safety obligations with the international benchmark for occupational health and safety.

What Is ISO 45001?

Occupational Health & Safety

ISO 45001 is the international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It replaces OHSAS 18001 and provides a framework for organisations to proactively improve worker health and safety, prevent workplace incidents, and reduce OH&S risks.

ISO 45001 applies to any organisation with employees or contractors — from construction and manufacturing to offices and professional services. It is particularly critical for engineering, energy, construction, and any sector where workplace safety is a regulatory and legal obligation.
