Read Marcus Overview

Published on 12 March 2018, ISO 45001 marks a significant step in the overall effort to improve occupational health and safety standards worldwide.
ISO 45001 supersedes the previous OHSAS 18001 standard, which was first introduced in 1999 and revised in 2007, replacing it as the primary standard used internationally for OH&S management systems. It is the first international standard to provide a comprehensive framework for management systems addressing OH&S issues.

ISO 45001 is designed to place a proactive and preventative emphasis on risk control factors by identifying and assessing the likelihood of hazards in the workplace. It can be implemented by any size of organization in any industry, and can be integrated into other health and safety programs.

By adopting a systematic approach including worker participation, the organization can integrate OH&S within its business processes which will contribute to prevention of accidents and long and short term ill health effects. The standard provides a platform to develop a positive safety culture leading to worker wellbeing.

Topic FAQ

What are the core clauses of ISO 45001:2018 I need to address when building an OHSMS?

ISO 45001 organizes requirements into clauses covering the organization’s context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement. Practical implementation focuses on Sections 4–10: Context of the organization through Improvement, which are the standard clauses to map in any OHSMS.

How does the PDCA cycle apply to an OHSMS under ISO 45001?

The PDCA cycle structures continual improvement: Plan sets objectives and risk controls, Do implements processes and controls, Check monitors performance and audits, Act updates systems and corrective actions. ISO 45001 applies PDCA across the OHSMS lifecycle, and Route to ISO 45001:2018 explains PDCA step-by-step with diagrammed guidance in the deck.

What does risk-based thinking mean for workplace hazard management?

Risk-based thinking requires proactively identifying and assessing hazards, prioritizing controls using the hierarchy of controls, and documenting mitigation plans. It shifts focus from reactive compliance to preventive action; Route to ISO 45001:2018 includes a risk assessment and management plan template to operationalize this approach.

What should I look for when choosing an ISO 45001 implementation toolkit?

Seek materials that map ISO clauses (Sections 4–10), explain PDCA and risk-based thinking, provide an implementation roadmap, internal audit checklist, training materials, and customization guidance. Toolkits that include audit tools and communication/training templates help prepare for certification; the deliverables list typically includes an internal audit checklist.

Which deliverables make a toolkit practical for preparing for ISO 45001 certification?

Practical deliverables include an OHSMS implementation roadmap, risk assessment and management plan, internal audit checklist, training materials, and performance metrics to demonstrate system effectiveness during certification. Route to ISO 45001:2018 explicitly lists these deliverables, including a performance metrics dashboard.

How should an organization approach migrating from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001?

Migration requires aligning existing systems to ISO 45001’s clauses, increasing emphasis on risk-based thinking and worker participation, and following a documented migration plan. The Route to ISO 45001:2018 deck provides migration process steps and guidance to map old controls to the new standard’s requirements.

How often should internal audits and management reviews be conducted under ISO 45001?

Internal audits should be conducted regularly—typically annually or bi‑annually—to assess OHSMS compliance and identify improvements. Management reviews should systematically evaluate performance metrics, compliance status, incident reports, and corrective actions to ensure top-management engagement and continual improvement.

What practical steps improve employee participation in an OHSMS?

Improve participation through regular communication, targeted training, involving employees in risk assessments and decision-making, and documented engagement plans. Toolkits that include a communication plan and staff training materials help embed participation activities into the OHSMS and daily operations.
