What is ISO 45001:2018?
ISO 45001: is the globally recognised Health and Safety Standard. Occupational health and safety in the workplace is always a major concern for all organisations. Having an occupational health and safety management system will help you to protect your most important asset; your people.
ISO 45001 provides a robust set of requirements designed for improving workplace safety in organisations and supply chains, with the aim of reducing workplace injury and illness.
ISO 45001 replaces BS OHSAS 18001, the former British standard for workplace health and safety. If you are already certified to OHSAS 18001, you will have three years to migrate to the new standard.
Why is ISO 45001:2018 Important?
Hazard and Risk Identification – ISO 45001 enables organisations to systematically identify hazards, assess associated risks, and apply effective control measures—resulting in a measurable reduction in workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents.
Commitment to your People – Adopting ISO 45001 sends a clear message to both employees and external stakeholders that the organisation is genuinely committed to safeguarding worker health, safety, and overall wellbeing. This not only enhances morale and staff retention but also strengthens the organisation’s reputation.
Legal Compliance – The standard also supports legal compliance by ensuring conformity with relevant OH&S legislation and regulatory requirements. Its proactive, risk-based approach can further lead to operational efficiencies and may contribute to reduced insurance costs over time.
Build the Resilience of your Organisation – By embedding emergency preparedness and response protocols into the management system, ISO 45001 helps build organisational resilience and ensures a swift, coordinated reaction to safety-related threats or crises.
Continuous Improvement for your Organisation – Importantly, ISO 45001 follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, promoting continual improvement and long-term enhancement of health and safety performance across the organisation.

What our clients have to say
We engaged Blackmores to develop our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 management system from scratch. Throughout the creation and development stages of our ISO journey, Anju Punetha demonstrated remarkable patience, knowledge, and understanding as our dedicated consultant.
During our internal audit preparations, Ian Battersby’s meticulous attention to detail and thorough approach ensured we were well-prepared for our external audit, which we passed with flying colours. His guidance during the external audit was invaluable.
Based on our engagement and experience, I highly recommend the entire Blackmores team. If you’re considering pursuing ISO accreditations, Blackmores should be your first choice.
