O
rganizations are responsible for the health and safety of their
employees, which is why it is necessary to create a safe and healthy
work environment.
The purpose of ISO 45001:2018 is to help you create an
Occupational Health & Safety Management System, based on
minimizing occupational risks and improving the health and safety
of workers and overall working conditions.
For these reasons, your organization must provide your workers
with a safe and healthy work environment, proactively anticipating
the possible occurrence of incidents and avoiding any harm or
injuries.
The purpose of ISO 45001:2018 is to help you create an
Occupational Health and Safety Management System, based on
minimizing occupational risks and improving safety and working
conditions in general.
Thanks to the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety
Management System, you will be able to identify, analyse and
assess risks that affect your staff in order to take the appropriate
measures to improve the work environment.

Why the change from BS OHSAS 18001:2007 to
ISO 45001:2018
ISO 45001:2018 is the ISO international standard published
by ISO that replaces the BS OHSAS 18001:2007 standard.
This change is mainly due to the heterogeneous nature that
BS OHSAS 18001:2007 displayed in different countries, in
addition to the difficulties of integration with other
standards such as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015,
now solved with the integration of Annex SL.
ISO 45001:2018
Evolution of
corporate
concept
New approach to the definition of risk.
Review of the concept of workplace
and worker.
More accessible language for the
services sector, for which we talk
about risk identification and risk
control instead of hazards.
Safety Management is extended to all
the operations of the organization
increasing management Leadership
and worker participation.
It introduces new concepts such as
occupational well-being, risk and
opportunities.
The context of the organization and
the expectations of stakeholders are
of particular importance.
Evolution of
corporate
needs
Evolution of
safety concept
Documented planning to acheive
OH&S Objectives is a distinct feature.
Determination of scope of OH&SMS,
Which requires several additional
considerations
Evolution of
business
model
Integration
with other
management
systems
Uniformity of
regulations

WHAT WERE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE REVIEW?
The main objective of the review was to release a new
standard, understood and accepted by all, to allow an
organization to improve its results and performance in
health and safety and offer safe and healthy workspaces
to its workers and interested parties. ISO 45001:2018 also
offers:

management system. In this way you will be able to
improve your organization’s occupational health and
safety performance.
If you are certified to BS OHSAS 18001:2007, we
recommend you start thinking about how to undertake the
migration. It will be a three-year period from the date of
publication of the ISO 45001:2018 standard, in this case
from March 2018. The transition to ISO 45001:2018 is a
very important step for your organization, as apart from
updating your management system, it will show your
customers and the market your true commitment to your
workers.
