ISO 45001 Conversion
We can take you through the process of migrating from OHSAS 18001.
ISO 45001 is replacing the OHSAS 18001 certification as the new international standard for the management of occupational health and safety. Taking a more strategic view, ISO 45001 follows the structured format of all ISO standards and uses a predictable and tested framework.
Organisations transitioning from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001 have until March 2021 to implement the new standards.
ISO 45001 focuses on the same core issue as OHSAS 18001, which is to reduce occupational injuries and make your organisation a safe and secure place for your employees to work.
