ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management standard 01 April 2015

BSI, the UK’s national standards body, is inviting comment on the second draft of the new international standard on occupational health and safety management – ISO 45001 – which is due for publication in October 2016.

Interested parties are invited to register their comments before 1 May 2015 online at: https://drafts.bsigroup.com/Home/Details/54548.

All comments will be considered by a panel of UK experts before BSI submits the UK's national position back to the international committee.

Occupational health and safety continues to be a worldwide priority. Despite extensive regulation, standards and guidelines, work-related disease still kills millions globally each year, with hundreds of thousands more fatalities caused by workplace accidents.

The international committee developing ISO 45001 includes experts from more than 55 countries, 14 observer countries and around 20 liaison bodies.

The new standard is being designed to replace the widely-used OHSAS 18001. Ultimately, it is being crafted to provide a single, clear framework for organisations of all types and sizes.
