ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System
New International Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems ISO 45001 replaces OHSAS 18001.
The world’s first occupational health and safety international standard is currently being developed. It will help your organization provide a safe and healthy workplace for your workers and other people, prevent deaths, work-related injury and ill-health as well as continually improve OH&S performance.
The Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) of ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) has been published. Publication of the final standard is likely to be in the first half of 2018.
OHSAS 18001 will be withdrawn on publication of ISO 45001 and organizations currently certified to OHSAS 18001 will have a three year period to upgrade to ISO 45001.
Springtime will continue to keep clients updated with the development of this standard and provide training courses to support you.
ISO 45001 brings occupational health and safety management and continual improvement into the heart of an organization. This new standard is an opportunity for organizations to align their strategic direction with their OH&S management system. In addition, there is an increased focus on improving occupational health and safety performance.
