The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published ISO 45001:2018, an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) standard that replaces OHSAS 18001:2007.
The transition period for this standard ended in March 2021, giving organizations three years to develop and implement ISO 45001:2018 before undergoing a transition audit conducted by a certification body.
The key changes from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001:2018 include the following:
- Business Context
- Workers and Interested Parties
- Risk and Opportunity Management
- Management Commitment and Leadership
- Performance Objectives
- Expanded requirements related to worker participation and consultation, communication, and procurement, including outsourced processes and contractors.
