ISO 45001:2018<\/a>, Occupational health and safety management systems has been published! The new standard replaces\/supersedes the British standard 18001. Organisations already certified to OHSAS 18001 will have three years to comply with the new ISO 45001<\/a> standard. The new Occupational Health and Safety Standard has been designed to help organisations reduce workplace injuries and illnesses – providing a framework for managing Health and Safety responsibilities.<\/p>\n \u201cOver 7,600 people die each day from work-related accidents or diseases – that\u2019s over 2.78 million every year\u201d (International Labour Organisation)<\/p>\n According to 2017 calculations by the International Labour Organisation almost 7,700 people die of work-related diseases or injuries every day. Additionally, there are some 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries and illnesses each year, many of these resulting in extended absences from work.<\/p>\n ISO 45001<\/a> hopes to change this. It provides governmental agencies, industry and other affected stakeholders with effective, usable guidance for improving worker safety in countries around the world. ISO 45001<\/a> has been designed to integrate with other ISO management systems standards, ensuring a high level of compatibility with the new versions of ISO 9001<\/a> (quality management) and ISO 14001<\/a> (environmental management).<\/p>\n
