What Was OHSAS 18001?

OHSAS 18001 provided a vital framework for businesses to consistently identify and manage their Health and Safety risks, thereby reducing accidents and legal liabilities while enhancing overall performance.

Some of the advantages of OHSAS 18001 included:

– Decreased risk of accidents and decreased staff absenteeism
– Lower risk of citations and penalties
– Performance enhancements driven by policies
– Compliance with Health and Safety regulations
– Potential reduction in insurance premiums
– Enhanced corporate image and reputation leading to increased access to new customers
– Heightened staff awareness of Health and Safety

OHSAS 18001 Has Now Been Replaced By ISO 45001

The introduction of ISO 45001, the first global standard for health and safety management, on March 12, 2018, was a significant milestone celebrated by health and safety professionals in the UK.

ISO 45001 is engineered to seamlessly integrate with other ISO management systems standards, ensuring compatibility with the updated versions of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

For organizations previously adhering to OHSAS 18001, we have been assisting them in transitioning to the new and enhanced standard, ensuring a smooth migration process.

Do I Need ISO 45001 Certification?

Establishing a safety management system is crucial for almost any business. Without a robust health and safety system, various potential issues such as accidents and injuries can slip through the cracks, resulting in significant costs for repairs and settlements, not to mention the harm to reputation.

ISO 45001 certification is designed to assist businesses in managing their occupational Health and Safety risks and has completely replaced OHSAS 18001, which is no longer applicable.

For any business prioritizing health and safety in the workplace, a safety management system like ISO 45001 certification is the ultimate objective.
