ISO 45001 is an internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OH&S). It provides organisations with a structured framework to create a safe and healthy workplace by reducing work-related risks and preventing injuries and ill health.

The standard can be implemented by organisations of any size, sector, or industry. ISO 45001 helps organisations identify hazards, manage health and safety risks, improve working conditions, and demonstrate a commitment to employee wellbeing and legal compliance.

ISO 45001 is based on key occupational health and safety principles, including risk-based thinking, worker participation, leadership commitment, continual improvement, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. These principles help organisations strengthen safety culture and improve overall performance.
