NF EN ISO 45001, S70-004 (08/2023)

ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OHS) management system, and provides guidelines for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces , through the prevention of work-related trauma and pathologies and through the proactive improvement of their OH&S performance. ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system in order to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize risks for OH&S (including system failures), to take advantage of OH&S opportunities and to address non-conformities in the OH&S management system related to its activities. ISO 45001:2018 aims to help an organization achieve the expected results of its OH&S management system. In accordance with the organization's OH&S policy, the expected results of an OH&S management system include: a) continuous improvement of OH&S performance; b) compliance with legal and other requirements; c) achieving OH&S objectives. ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization, regardless of its size, status and activities. It is applicable to OH&S risks that are within the control of the organization, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties. ISO 45001:2018 does not specify specific OH&S performance criteria, nor specifications on how to design an OH&S management system. ISO 45001:2018 allows an organization to integrate, through its OH&S management system, other aspects of health and safety, such as well-being and quality of life at work. ISO 45001:2018 does not address product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, apart from risks to workers and other affected interested parties. ISO 45001:2018 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve the management of occupational health and safety. Claims of conformity to this document are, however, not acceptable unless all requirements are integrated into an organization's OH&S management system and are met, without exclusion.
