ISO45001

ISO 45001:2018 is the first global occupational health and safety management system standard and was developed by experts from over 60 countries over the past 5 years and published in March 2018. It will revoke and replace OHSAS 18001:2007 over the next three years and because of its structure and content will complement other management system standards such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 22301:2012.
Companies will be required to migrate from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 54001:2018 by March 2021.
A number of significant changes have been introduced by ISO 45001, not least of which is the introduction of the Annex SL format and terminology. Annex SL was developed in order to ensure that all future ISO management system standards share a common format irrespective of the specific discipline to which they relate.
ISO 45001:2018 takes the majority of what is required by OHSAS 18001:2007 but has added a
number of additional requirements that were not explicitly documented in the OHSAS standard, such as the need to contextualise the company’s operations and impose greater control on procurement and contractor activities. In addition, greater participation of company personnel is encouraged at every level as required by clause 5.4 of the standard on consultation and participation of workers.
ISO 45001 requirements are less prescriptive than those in OHSAS 18001:2007 and are based on continual improvement of performance, rather than on specifying how organisations should do things.
Other changes include a move from prescriptive requirements for specific ‘documents’ and ‘records’ towards the more inclusive term ‘documented information’.
