ISO 45001 is an international standard that sets forth the requirements for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). It provides a framework for organizations to manage and improve their occupational health and safety performance. ISO 45001 aims to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities by establishing proactive approaches to hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control in the workplace.

The standard outlines the responsibilities of top management, employee participation, hazard communication, incident investigation, and continual improvement. Implementing ISO 45001 helps organizations create a safe and healthy work environment, reduce workplace accidents, comply with legal obligations, and enhance employee well-being.
