One year down the line for ISO 45001:2018

Posted to on Share:

The Occupational Health & Safety standard, ISO 45001:2018 was published in March 2018; it marked the start of a three-year migration period.

Organisations looking to move over to the new standard from OHSAS 18001 will need to make changes to their current management system before March 2021.

One year down

We’ve recently passed the one year anniversary (12^thMarch) and it’s surprising how quickly it’s flown by. There are now only two years left to migrate and all organisations aiming to implement the new standard should start the process now!

Over the last 18 months NQA has produced a range of information about the standard which is now aligned with other ISO standards through the Annex SL structure, including a number of webinars and workshops. NQA has also created documents and videos to help companies compare their existing system against the old version to assist in the identification of changes required.
