Introduction
OHSAS 18001:2007 is the most widely used British standard for occupational health and safety management system. Since it was a British standard and in past it was not incorporated by the International Organization for Standardization i.e. the ISO. Therefore there was always a need that ISO should made a worldwide standard for occupational health and safety management system. With this thought and intensive working of the ISO committee ISO PC/283, finally ISO 45001:2018 is released.
Now organizations complying with OHSAS 18001:2007 have got migration period of three years starting from 12 March 2018 to upgrade their systems on ISO 45001:2018. This does not mean that organizations should wait for last year to work for the migration rather they should start working on this project today. Since those who will immediately transform themselves with the latest version of ISO 45001:2018 can actually be more competitive and reputable within the industry.
