Now is the time to migrate to ISO 45001

Now is the time to migrate to ISO 45001

May 4th, 2018 By

Migrating from OHSAS 18001 to the new International Standard ISO 45001 may seem daunting, but with careful planning, checking and commitment, organisations will enjoy the benefits of an improved health and safety management system.

Health and safety’s importance can be reflected within the figures. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), work-related accidents, injuries and diseases kill nearly 2.78 million every year. This obviously has a much wider impact on not only organisations but also the wider economy as a whole, which has to carry the costs of early retirement, healthcare and a rise in insurance premiums.

ISO 45001 replaces/supersedes the British standard 18001. Organisations already certified to OHSAS 18001 will have three years to comply to the new ISO 45001 standard.

Implementing the new standard will be easier for organisations that use other ISO management system standards – such as the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental standards – as they have the same structure.
