ISO 45001:2016, Occupational health and safety management systems takes into account other
international standards in this area, such as OHSAS 18001. The standard is intended to help
organizations, regardless of size or industry, in designing systems to proactively prevent injury and ill
health. All of its requirements are designed to be integrated into an organization’s management
processes.
ISO 45001:2016 was published on February 12, 2016 and is currently an ISO Draft International
Standard (DIS). It is available for purchase from the NSF Bookstore.
It uses a simple plan-do-check-act (PDCA) model, which provides a framework for organizations to
plan what they need to put in place in order to minimize the risk of harm. The measures should
address concerns that can lead to long-term health issues and absence from work, as well as those
that give rise to accidents.
ISO 45001 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects
of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing. The ISO 45001 standard calls for the
organization's management and leadership to integrate responsibility for health and safety issues as
part of the organization's overall plan rather than shift responsibility to, for example, a safety
manager.
Why an ISO Standard?

Emerging Key Changes
Sources: hazardous substances, radiation, temperature, pressure, dust, noise & vibration
Situations: working at heights, working in confined space, working alone, worker fatigue,
aggressive behavior or harassment, workload and task control
Hazards can be categorized in many ways, including: physical, chemical, biological
psychosocial, physiological; or mechanical and electrical; or based on movement and
energy.
Organization shall establish, implement and maintain a process for on-going proactive

When planning how to achieve OH&S objectives, the organization shall determine:
Provide safe & healthy working conditions for the prevention of work-related injury & ill
health;
Satisfy applicable legal requirements & other requirements

Participation
Key Change 9: Documented Information (Clause 7.5)
Organization will need to maintain & retain documentation information of OH&S objectives &
plans to achieve them, keeping complexity to minimum
Should not have effect of preventing workers obtaining full & complete picture of hazards/risks of
their work.
Organization shall ensure that outsourced processes affecting OH&S management system are
controlled.
Procurement:
Establish controls to ensure that the procurement of goods (for example products, hazardous
materials or substances, raw materials, equipment) and services conform to its OH&S

for use by workers
Delivered to specifications & are tested to ensure works as intended
Usage requirements, precautions or other protective measures are communicated & made
available.
Organization shall establish a process & determine controls for achieving reduction in OH&S risks
