ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

Any organization who wishes to implement, maintain, and improve their OH&S system can use ISO 45001:2018.

https://industrialhub.it/ :2018 assists organizations in achieving the desired outcomes of their OH&S management systems. In accordance with an organization's OH&S policies, the expected outcomes of an OH&S system are:

a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;

b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;

c) Achievement of OH&S goals.

ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It covers all OH&S risks that are under an organization's control. This includes factors such as the environment in which it operates, and the expectations and needs of its employees.

ISO 45001:2018 does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system.

Through its OH&S management system ISO 45001:2018, an organization can integrate other aspects of safety and health, such as worker well-being/wellbeing.

ISO 45001:2018 doesn't address product safety, property damage, or environmental impacts beyond the risks for workers.

ISO 45001:2018 may be used in its entirety or in part to improve occupational safety and health management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

ISO 45001 is for organizations who are serious about improving employee safety and reducing workplace risk.

The International Labour Organization estimates that more than 7600 people are killed each day by work-related diseases or accidents. An ISO committee of occupational safety and health experts began work on an International Standard that could save nearly three million lives every year. The approach is similar to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001. ISO 45001 is a continuation of the international standards that have been successful in this area, such as OHSAS18001, the International Labour Organization ILO OSH Guidelines, and various national standards.

Guidelines on occupational safety and health management systems, ILO-OSH 2001 These guidelines were created by the ILO to be a practical tool to assist organizations and institutions in order for them to achieve continuous improvement in their occupational safety and/or health (OSH). These guidelines were developed in accordance with internationally accepted principles as defined by the ILO's three-partite constituencies. These guidelines provide practical guidance for all who are responsible for OSH management. The second edition also includes new additions in the bibliography.
