Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS)

ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS)

At WWISE, we support organisations in building ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) that safeguard employees, reduce workplace risks, and improve overall well-being. This globally recognised standard provides a proactive framework for managing health and safety responsibilities while strengthening business resilience.

What ISO 45001:2018 Is and Why It Matters

ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It helps organisations establish safe workplaces by identifying, controlling, and reducing health and safety risks.

Replacing OHSAS 18001, this standard adopts a risk-based approach and focuses on preventing incidents rather than reacting to them. By aligning with ISO 45001:2018, organisations demonstrate a strong commitment to employee welfare, legal compliance, and continual improvement.

Business Benefits of ISO 45001:2018

Organisations that implement ISO 45001:2018 gain significant advantages, such as:

Reduced workplace incidents
Fewer accidents, injuries, and lost time.
Legal compliance

Lower costs
Reduced insurance premiums, claims, and compensation payouts.

Enhanced reputation
Clients and stakeholders trust companies that prioritise worker welfare.
