ISO 45001:2018 sets requirements for planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement of OH&S management. The current standard is still ISO 45001:2018, including Amendment 1:2024 (climate action changes). A revised edition is under development (ISO/DIS 45001; vote closed 9 September 2026) and is expected in 2027. It has not been published and does not yet start a certification transition.
Certification is optional and is issued by a conformity assessment body. The standard itself does not certify you.
Clauses cover context, leadership, worker participation, hazard identification, and incident investigation among other topics.
Always use the official ISO text and your certification body’s scheme rules.
