Occupational health and safety management systems - Requirements with guidance for use (ISO 45001:2018)
ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.
ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities.
ISO 45001:2018 helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its OH&S management system. Consistent with the organization's OH&S policy, the intended outcomes of an OH&S management system include:
a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;
b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;
c) achievement of OH&S objectives.
ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It is applicable to the OH&S risks under the organization's control, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties.
ISO 45001:2018 does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system.
ISO 45001:2018 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing.
ISO 45001:2018 does not address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, beyond the risks to workers and other relevant interested parties.
ISO 45001:2018 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve occupational health and safety management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
0.1 Background
An organization is responsible for the occupational health and safety of workers and others who can
be affected by its activities. This responsibility includes promoting and protecting their physical and
mental health.
The adoption of an OH&S management system is intended to enable an organization to provide safe
and healthy workplaces, prevent work-related injury and ill health, and continually improve its OH&S
performance.
0.2 Aim of an OH&S management system
The purpose of an OH&S management system is to provide a framework for managing OH&S risks and
opportunities. The aim and intended outcomes of the OH&S management system are to prevent work-
related injury and ill health to workers and to provide safe and healthy workplaces; consequently, it
is critically important for the organization to eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks by taking
effective preventive and protective measures.
When these measures are applied by the organization through its OH&S management system, they
improve its OH&S performance. An OH&S management system can be more effective and efficient when
taking early action to address opportunities for improvement of OH&S performance.
Implementing an OH&S management system conforming to this document enables an organization to
manage its OH&S risks and improve its OH&S performance. An OH&S management system can assist an
organization to fulfil its legal requirements and other requirements.
0.3 Success factors
The implementation of an OH&S management system is a strategic and operational decision for an
organization. The success of the OH&S management system depends on leadership, commitment and
participation from all levels and functions of the organization.
The implementation and maintenance of an OH&S management system, its effectiveness and its ability
to achieve its intended outcomes are dependent on a number of key factors, which can include:
a) top management leadership, commitment, responsibilities and accountability;
b) top management developing, leading and promoting a culture in the organization that supports the
intended outcomes of the OH&S management system;
c) communication;
d) consultation and participation of workers, and, where they exist, workers’ representatives;
e) allocation of the necessary resources to maintain it;
f) OH&S policies, which are compatible with the overall strategic objectives and direction of the
organization;
g) effective process(es) for identifying hazards, controlling OH&S risks and taking advantage of OH&S
opportunities;
h) continual performance evaluation and monitoring of the OH&S management system to improve
OH&S performance;
i) integration of the OH&S management system into the organization’s business processes;
j) OH&S objectives that align with the OH&S policy and take into account the organization’s hazards,
OH&S risks and OH&S opportunities;
vi © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved
ISO 45001:2018(E)
k) compliance with its legal requirements and other requirements.
Demonstration of successful implementation of this document can be used by an organization to give
assurance to workers and other interested parties that an effective OH&S management system is in
place. Adoption of this document, however, will not in itself guarantee prevention of work-related injury
and ill health to workers, provision of safe and healthy workplaces and improved OH&S performance.
The level of detail, the complexity, the extent of documented information and the resources needed to
ensure the success of an organization’s OH&S management system will depend on a number of factors,
such as:
— the organization’s context (e.g. number of workers, size, geography, culture, legal requirements and
other requirements);
— the scope of the organization’s OH&S management system;
— the nature of the organization’s activities and the related OH&S risks.
0.4 Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle
The OH&S management system approach applied in this document is founded on the concept of Plan-
Do-Check-Act (PDCA).
The PDCA concept is an iterative process used by organizations to achieve continual improvement. It
can be applied to a management system and to each of its individual elements, as follows:
a) Plan: determine and assess OH&S risks, OH&S opportunities and other risks and other
opportunities, establish OH&S objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance
with the organization’s OH&S policy;
b) Do: implement the processes as planned;
c) Check: monitor and measure activities and processes with regard to the OH&S policy and OH&S
objectives, and report the results;
d) Act: take actions to continually improve the OH&S performance to achieve the intended outcomes.
This document incorporates the PDCA concept into a new framework, as shown in Figure 1.
ISO 45001:2018(E)
