The international standard for workplace health and safety. Protect your workers, reduce accidents, meet legal obligations — and prove it with a genuine CINAB accredited certificate.
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&SMS). It provides a framework for organisations to proactively improve worker safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions.
Published in 2018, ISO 45001 replaced OHSAS 18001 as the globally recognised benchmark for workplace health and safety. It applies to any organisation — regardless of size, industry, or location — that wants to eliminate work-related injuries, ill health, and fatalities.
With over 2.3 million people dying from work-related causes each year globally, ISO 45001 gives businesses a proven, audited system to make safety a core operational commitment — not just a policy document.
Any workplace with safety risks — which is every workplace — benefits from ISO 45001. These industries need it most:
One of the highest-risk industries globally. ISO 45001 is increasingly mandatory on large project sites and government contracts.
Manage machine hazards, chemical exposures, and physical risks systematically — reducing incidents and insurance costs.
High-hazard operations require robust OH&S systems. ISO 45001 is the industry benchmark for safety management.
Driver safety, loading risks, and warehouse hazards are all covered under ISO 45001's comprehensive OH&S framework.
Ergonomic risks, mental health, and workplace wellbeing are increasingly covered under ISO 45001 for service businesses.
Protect healthcare workers from biological hazards, chemical exposures, and physical risks in clinical environments.
ISO 45001 protects people and delivers measurable business value at the same time.
A structured OH&S system proactively identifies hazards before they cause harm — reducing the frequency and severity of workplace injuries, ill health, and fatalities.
ISO 45001 helps you systematically identify and comply with all applicable OH&S laws — significantly reducing the risk of regulatory penalties, legal action, and liability claims.
Insurers recognise ISO 45001 as evidence of a robust safety management system. Many organisations see direct reductions in their employers' liability and accident insurance costs after certification.
Major construction projects, government contracts, and multinational supply chains increasingly require ISO 45001 certification from contractors and suppliers before work can begin.
A safe workplace is a productive one. ISO 45001's worker participation requirements build a genuine safety culture — improving morale, reducing absenteeism, and increasing productivity.
ISO 45001 shares the High Level Structure with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 — making it straightforward to build an Integrated Management System (IMS) covering quality, environment, and safety together.
ISO 45001 follows the High Level Structure. Clauses 4–10 are the core requirements your OH&SMS must meet.
Identify internal and external issues affecting OH&S, define interested parties, and scope your OH&SMS.
Top management accountability, OH&S policy, worker consultation, and participation — a unique requirement of ISO 45001.
Hazard identification, risk assessment, legal obligations, opportunities for improvement, and OH&S objectives.
Resources, competence, awareness, communication, and documented information to support the OH&SMS.
Operational planning, hazard controls, management of change, procurement, contractors, and emergency preparedness.
Monitoring and measurement, compliance evaluation, incident investigation, internal audit, and management review.
Incident reporting, nonconformity, corrective action, and continual improvement of OH&S performance.
Introductory clauses defining the scope, normative references, and OH&S-specific terminology of the standard.
