 Background to regulation and relevance to ISO
▪ Regulation has been the main approach to Occupational
Safety and Health in many countries
▪ Laws and codes of practice are often reactive measures
▪ They do not necessarily take account of the workers of today
or current technology
▪ ISO 45001 is proactive and risk based recognizing the role of
regulation

 Background

▪ The publication of ISO45001 on 12 Mach 2018 is seen by OSH

practitioners globally as a historic event (the other is RA11058 signing in
the Philippines)
▪ The first world consensus businesses agreed on occupational safety and
health management system.
▪ Over 70 countries represented through their national standards bodies
(NSB’s) are listed as participative members as well as a number of
observer bodies and liaison organizations.
▪ The members (ISO/Project Committee 283, TC283) work tirelessly to gain
consensus (almost 94% approval)
▪ As an ISO standard it has greater standing than other national standards
e.g. OHSAS 18001

 ISO 45001- Context of the Standard

▪ Although the ISO standards on quality and environment has been

around for 20 years, it has been difficult to get international consensus
for the development of an equivalent standard on occupational safety
and health management
▪ OHSAS 18001, consortia document was first developed in 1999
▪ ILO-OSH guidelines document was published in 2001 and is closely
aligned to a UK government publication known as HSG65
▪ OHSAS 18001:2007 (update on 1999 version) was adopted as a
standard in many countries around the world.
▪ ISO45001 published in March 2018

Use of standards- OHSAS 18001 and equivalent

▪ Now estimated 160,000 organizations are registered

▪ This gives a good indication that the approach adopted by ISO
45001 does not conflict with legal requirements in country of
operation.
▪ A high proportion of OHSAS 18001 certificates are held by countries
in the Far East and it would be anticipated that they will be the
significant adopters of ISO 45001

 Benefits of ISO 45001
▪ It follows the simple risk based
approach which has been highly
successful in OHSAS 18001
▪ Significantly reduce the number of
accidents in the workplace and other
losses
▪ Simultaneously fulfill legal and official
business requirements on OHS
▪ Provides a business framework that
can be easily be integrated/aligned
with other systems like Quality and
Environment

Migration from OHSAS 18001

Migration period: 3 years

▪ ISO/IEC TS 17021-10,
competence requirements for
auditing and certification of
occupational safety and health
management systems, which
is in conjunction with ISO
45001

Migrating to ISO45001 to Further Improve OSH Outcomes

Recommendations
Organizations that are OHSAS 18001certified should:
▪ Secure a copy of the ISO 45001:2018 standard (BPS-DTI)
▪ Make the top management aware of the changes and the need of a
migration plan and resources
▪ Consider awareness and training in the migration plan
▪ Discuss with clients, current assessors you migration plan
▪ Consider the integration opportunity with existing management systems for
Quality and Environment (ISO9001 and ISO14001)

Organizations that are not OHSAS 18001 certified should:

▪ Develop and implement an OHS Management system that is aligned to the
framework of ISO45001 and is certifiable in case management decides to
pursue certification in the future.
