ISO 45001:2018 replaces OHSAS 18001:2007 as the international standard for health and safety management systems.
The standard follows the new structure of Annex SL and is aligned with the 2015 versions of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. This enables simpler and stronger integration of these management systems.
If your organisation already has certification to OHSAS 18001 you will need to eventually make the transition to ISO 45001 to maintain the validity of certification.
ISO 45001:2018 was published in March 2018 – current OHSAS 18001 holders will have up to three years from the publication of the new standard to make the transition to the new standard.

We have worked with SMSE for quite a number of years now and I can't recommend them enough. We recently had our H&S manual updated and the turnaround time was swift. They understood entirely what we needed and made suggestions for improvement. Great value for money.Posted on Google![]()

I haven't used any of their paid services but they have been most helpful to a struggling business that is looking forward to moving on to another year. The template they have supplied for free is a great help, we have had to freeze all our subscriptions to professional services so needed a lift to be come compliant when we open. Thanks again.Posted on Google![]()
