Who Does ISO 45001 Apply To?

Health and safety management systems apply to any type of business with employees - both large and small organizations can obtain these certifications. The requirements for an occupational health and safety program can easily be adapted to fit the needs of businesses in a wide variety of industries. ISO 45001 is designed to apply to both large and small businesses. Its use of the new Annex SL format will make it easier for organizations of different sizes, and in different types of industries, to adopt the new standards.

If your organization already has the OHSAS 18001 certification, you should seriously consider becoming ISO 45001 certified. This standard will replace the OHSAS 18000 series of standards, so your earlier certification will need to be migrated once the ISO 45001 has been published and approved.
