ISO 45001:2018 OHS&MS
ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety
ISO has developed a standard that will help organizations to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions, all over the world.
The standard was developed by a committee of occupational health and safety experts and follows other generic management system approaches such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001. It was based on earlier international standards in this area such as OHSAS 18001, the International Labour Organization's ILO-OSH Guidelines, various national standards, and the ILO's international labor standards and conventions......Source: ISO.ORG
