What is the ISO 45001 standard?

Every day thousands of lives are lost in workplace accidents, or as a result of illnesses linked to work activities. The ISO 45001:2018 sets the international standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management Systems. It helps organisations proactively manage their OH&S risks and improve their OH&S performance.

Safety is a serious business. Organisations worldwide who are serious about safety, reducing workplace risks and creating safer working conditions are certifying to this international occupational health and safety standard.

ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems replaces OHSAS 18001 and AS 4801. If your organisation is either OHSAS 18001 or AS 4801 certified, you will need to update to the new ISO 45001 standard.

TQCSI is here to help you become newly certified or bring your existing certification up to date. Navigating the standard without the help of an expert can be difficult. We’re the experts in ISO 45001, so you don’t have to be.
