WHAT IS ISO 45001:2018

ISO 45001:2018, which was issued on 12/3/2018, is an international standard giving requirements related to health and safety management and sets a prerequisite of the existence of OH&S Management System. The organization should define its context and identify the needs and expectations of employees and other stakeholders related to the OH&S management system. It relies on the prevention of accidents and enables an organization to have control over, and knowledge of, all relevant hazards resulting from normal operations and abnormal situations, and improve its performance.

The core of the standard is the identification, evaluation and control of OHS hazards. The ‘Plan-Do-Check-Act’ principle also applies to this standard. Commitment by top management for the continual improvement of OHS performance, participation of workers, prevention of accidents and compliance with the legislation is a prerequisite and crucial for its successful implementation.

The basic benefits from setting and implementing an OH&S Management System according to the requirements of ISO 45001:2018 are the following:
