The New International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management ISO 45001:2018 Certification

The ISO 45001:2018 standard was released on 12th March, 2018.

Commencing from the date of publication of ISO 45001:2018, organizations currently certified to OHSAS 18001 will have a 3-year transition period to upgrade to the new standard.

ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. It will enable organizations to proactively improve its OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health. ISO 45001:2018 will replace OHSAS 18001 as the primary international standard for OH&S management systems. It is expected that organizations currently holding OHSAS 18001 certification will have three years to recertify to the requirements in the new standard.
