ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). It provides a framework for organizations to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions. The standard emphasizes a proactive approach to hazard identification and risk assessment, encouraging organizations to systematically manage safety and health at work.

ISO 45001 focuses on various key elements, including leadership and worker participation, planning and risk assessment, support and operation, performance evaluation, and continual improvement. By implementing ISO 45001, organizations can enhance their overall safety culture, comply with legal requirements, and demonstrate commitment to employee well-being. Adoption of the standard also facilitates better stakeholder engagement and can improve overall organizational performance.
