Begin the transition to ISO 45001 with Certification Europe
On March 12th, 2018 ISO 45001: 2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System was released. ISO 45001 will now replace the existing OHSAS 18001:2007 standard. The new standard is the world’s first occupational health and safety standard that is recognised globally. The standard is designed to provide a safe and healthy workplace for your employees. ISO 45001 has been designed for both organisations large and small and can be tailored to meet the needs of the organisation’s objectives. The new standard for occupational health and safety management systems has also been updated to allow smoother integration with other ISO standards such as ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental).

If you’re currently certified to OHSAN 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems then you will need to migrate to ISO 45001 as OHSAS 18001 will be withdrawn. We have the expertise and knowledge to help you to upgrade your certification and get the most from ISO 45001.
