OHSAS 18001:2007
Occupational health and safety management systems — Requirements
Standard Introduction
OHSAS 18001 was an internationally recognized standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It provided a framework for organizations to identify, control, and reduce workplace hazards while ensuring legal compliance and improving employee safety. As of March 2018, OHSAS 18001 has been superseded by ISO 45001:2018.
Organizations previously certified to OHSAS 18001 had until September 2021 to transition to ISO 45001. The new ISO 45001 standard incorporates a stronger emphasis on leadership engagement, worker participation, risk and opportunity management, and aligns with other ISO management system standards through the High Level Structure (HLS).
Scope
Applicable to organizations of all sizes and industries, covering the protection of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Structure
Follows the High Level Structure (HLS), ensuring seamless integration with other ISO management standards like ISO 9001.
Certification
Organizations can achieve accredited certification after successfully completing an external audit of their ISMS.
