ISO 45001:2018 provides a framework for creating a comprehensive safety management system that helps organizations proactively manage and improve health and safety performance. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable, enabling organizations to integrate it seamlessly into their existing operations rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Key aspects of ISO 45001:2018 include:

1. Context of the Organization: Understanding internal and external factors that impact OH&S performance.

2. Leadership and Worker Participation: Emphasizing the involvement of leadership and workers in developing and maintaining the safety management system.

3. Planning: Identifying hazards and risks, setting objectives, and planning actions to address them.

4. Support: Ensuring adequate resources, competence, and communication to support the OH&S management system.

5. Operation: Implementing and controlling processes to manage risks and opportunities.

6. Performance Evaluation: Monitoring, measuring, and evaluating OH&S performance to ensure effectiveness.

7. Improvement: Continually improving the OH&S management system to enhance safety performance and address emerging risks.

ISO 45001 helps organizations not only comply with regulatory requirements but also foster a culture of safety, enhance risk management, and ultimately create a safer working environment.
