ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001
(OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY ASSESSMENT SERIES)

ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 standards were originally British Standards and, due to their effectiveness, impact, and global acceptance, are now recognized by ISO. Health and safety of employees is one of the most critical aspects of any organization.

Adoption of ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 should be a strategic decision for any organization. The design, implementation, and time required for certification depend on several key factors:

1. Willingness to implement, maintain, and continually improve the OHS management system and policy.
2. Organizational environment and occupational risks involved.
3. Products or services provided by the organization.
4. Processes adopted.
5. Size and organizational structure.
6. Applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 certification services are offered to organizations with large workforces, manual or heavy work activities, and high-risk working environments. The certification defines the occupational health and labor protection framework of an organization.

ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 is a globally recognized management system that helps organizations establish OHS policies and objectives. Effective implementation ensures a safer, accident-free industrial environment.

Certification validates that the organization is proactively protecting the health and safety of employees and stakeholders. ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 can also be integrated with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems.
