ISO 45001

The goal of the standard is the reduction of occupational injuries and diseases, including promoting and protecting physical and mental health.

Recognising this deficit, an international collaboration called the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series Project Group was formed to create a single unified approach.

[7] Drawing on the best of existing standards and schemes, the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series Project Group published the world's first international occupational health and safety management systems standard, OHSAS 18000 series in March 1999.

OHSAS 18000 series was updated in July 2007, based on conventions and guidelines of the ILO, and national standards.

[10] ISO 45001 was adopted as a National Standard by Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Austria, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, and Uzbekistan.N-[1] ISO 45001 is set to replace OHSAS 18001 over three years following its publication in March 2018.

[13] Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series Project Group will formally withdraw OHSAS 18001 in September 2021, at the end of the extended migration period (due to COVID-19).
