ISO 45001 is an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It provides a framework for organizations to proactively manage their occupational health and safety risks and improve their overall performance in this area.

The standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was published in March 2018. It replaces the previous OHSAS 18001 standard and is designed to be compatible with other ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management).

ISO 45001 sets out a systematic approach to identifying and controlling hazards and risks associated with work-related activities. It requires organizations to establish policies, objectives and targets for their occupational health and safety management system and to continually improve their performance in this area. The standard also emphasizes the importance of worker participation and consultation in the development and implementation of the management system.

By implementing ISO 45001, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to the health and safety of their workers, reduce the risk of accidents and ill-health, and improve their overall business performance.
