An international standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management frameworks, ISO 45001, was released in March 2018. The reduction of occupational illnesses, injuries, and diseases, as well as the promotion and security of physical and mental health, is the goal of ISO 45001.

An organization can be enabled by ISO 45001, an international standard that outlines the requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system and provides guidance for its application, to proactively enhance its OH&S execution in preventing injury and illness.

The requirement is based on OHSAS 18001, which incorporates national standards, ILO OS H 2001, and other norms of the International Labor Organization. BS OHSAS 18001, which it is replacing over a three-year transition period from 2018 to 2021, comprises components that are added to this standard.

The OHSAS 18001:2007 (introduction adaption OHSAS 18001:1999) standard preceded the recently published ISO standard ISO 45001:2018. While not an ISO standard, the OHSAS standard is widely recognised. Over time, it has been increasingly evident that many workers are suffering from OHS-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths, placing an unacceptably heavy weight on individuals and their families. This was understood, and as a result, an organised framework was required for the administration of the exercises.
