ISO 45001

The International Standard for occupational health and safety

 

INTRODUCTION TO ISO 45001:2018

ISO 45001 is an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management standard developed and published by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). ISO 45001:2018 is the first edition of 45001 standards and it was published in the year 2018.
ISO 45001 concerns with the safety and well-being of the employees and outside visitors to the business. ISO 45001:2018 was developed with the aim that minimum mental and physical harm is done to the people connected with the business, due to its activities. This includes mental and physical illness, injuries or in extreme cases deaths.
ISO 45001 was built upon the British Standards known as the “OHSAS 18001” and other important regulations issued by the International Labor Organization (ILO). .

WHAT WAS THE NEED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARD?

As per the report of International Labor Organization (ILO) there were around 23 Lakhs (2.3 million) deaths globally due to work-related activities in just 2017. The important thing to note here that most of the deaths were due to health-related issues and not by injuries. According to an estimation by IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety and Health), “Cancer” alone is the main cause of death yearly among 6.6 lakhs workers globally. The occupational health and safety standards (OH&S) were developed to make workplaces better and safe.
