» Back to listing ISO 45001 draft issued for comment
The long-awaited draft international standard (DIS) of ISO 45001 is now available. It will be the first internationally agreed health and safety management systems standard to apply to organisations across the world.
ISO 45001 will replace BS OHSAS 18001 and have a greater emphasis on leadership, worker involvement, context and documented information, following the common high-level structure for management systems standards that also applies to the revised versions of the ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental). Standards like ISO 45001 are developed to help organisations manage their processes and risks in a systematic and consistent way.
Reaching the DIS stage means the general public are being consulted about the standard for the first time. Consultation can be conducted through the BSI website.
