ISO 45001:2018 is the Occupational Health and Safety standard under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) system of standards aimed to help organizations improve their employee safety, reduce workplace risks and create better, safer working conditions. Revision of the earlier standard, OHSAS 18001 that was released in 2007 began in March 2013 and came to fruition only in 2018. To bring the occupational health and safety standard under the ISO umbrella has been a long standing effort by various international bodies since the early 90s. Although the targeted date was for Oct 2016, the overwhelming response with more than 3000 comments included significant concerns from ILO. After resolving these comments, ISO formally released the ISO 45001:2018 standard in March 2018.
