※ Download: Iso 45001 update


This standard is inspired by the well-known OHSAS 18001 and is designed to help organizations around the world ensure a safer and healthier working environment for everyone involved in their activities. ISO 45001 — The New Face of OHSAS 18001 Among the variety of transitions taking place in the world of ISO certification, the shift from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001 is the latest standard to receive an update. OHSAS 18001 will remain a live document until at least Spring 2021.


Utilizing SWOT Analysis and PESTLE Analysis Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental factors are two methodologies which can be useful determining context. ISO 45001 aligns health and safety in a form which integrates with other management systems which are in operation in over 1 million organisations. Again it was hoped that the level of comment would be so low as to allow the issue of the ISO 45001 without it passing through the FDIS stage.

ISO 45001 will continue to go through different stages until its publication, which is expected in 2016.


This draft international standard describes the potential requirements for an Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems OHSMS. It identifies the emerging changes expected to be in the final version of the standard, planned for publication in Q4 2016. When it is finally issued, ISO 45001 will be the first ISO Standard for an OHSMS. This ensures that the final version of ISO 45001 will be aligned with other management systems standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Using the Annex SL structure will ensure that OHSMS requirements are presented in a more consistent, rational manner that is closer to business language. These include meeting its OHS policy commitments. An organization must determine which interested parties are relevant to its OHSMS, and it must determine the relevant requirements of those interested parties. Risk Based Thinking Closely aligned with the focus on organizational context is the requirement to adopt a risk based approach when developing and implementing an OHSMS. An organization must identify the risks and opportunities that need to be addressed to ensure that the OHSMS can achieve its intended outcomes, including those relevant to or determined by its organizational context. The organization must plan actions that address these risks and opportunities, integrate and implement them into its OHSMS processes and evaluate the effectiveness of these actions. Leadership: Commitment from Senior Management Top management must now demonstrate its involvement and engagement with the OHSMS through direct participation, taking OHS performance into account in strategic planning and communicating the importance of having an effective OHSMS and conforming to its requirements. Top management must also contribute to the effectiveness of the OHSMS by playing an active role in directing and supporting persons in all functions and promoting and leading organizational culture with regard to the OHSMS. Outsourcing An organization must ensure that outsourced processes affecting its OHSMS are defined and controlled. Suppliers and contractors are included in these processes whenever they are carried out at the workplace. Evidence from processed information not held in a formal document system, such as electronic information held on smart phones and tablets, will now be accepted. How can SGS help?
