ISO 45001

The standard outlines what must be done to establish an occupational health and safety system. It consists of guidelines, operations, programs, procedures, Hazards Identification, Risk Assessment, and records that establish the guidelines concerning security and health. ISO 45001 is intended to be applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type, and nature. ISO 45001 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such
as worker wellness/wellbeing; however, it should be noted that an organization can be required by applicable legal requirements to also address such issues.
