    Avetta has launched a new Business Risk product. The key differences between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001 are that ISO 45001 takes a more proactive approach requiring hazards to be evaluated and remedied before accidents, while OHSAS 18001 focuses only on risks. ISO 45001 also has a stronger emphasis on leadership commitment, risk management, worker involvement, and training. Businesses will need to transition to ISO 45001 by March 2021.

    OHSAS 18001 vs. ISO 45001 

    To prevent and limit onsite work incidents, businesses can receive certification in


    a standard for occupational health and safety management. Two well-known standards
    are ISO 45001 (https://www.avetta.com/blog/iso-45001-what-you-need-to-know) and
    OHSAS 18001—but what is the difference between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001?  

    ISO 45001 is designed to replace OHSAS 18001 next year; in fact, organizations who are
    already certified to OHSAS 18001 will need to migrate to ISO 45001 by the end of March
    2021. Businesses who do not transition over to an ISO 45001 certification will find
    themselves without an accredited occupational health and safety management system
    and will lose the benefits that come with that title. 

    What is ISO 45001? 

     TALK WITH US
    ISO 45001 is the new ISO standard for occupational health and safety. It is set to
    drastically improve levels of workplace safety and productivity
    (https://www.avetta.com/iso-45001-developing-a-culture-of-safety-beyond-the-
    boundaries-of-the-factory). With an emphasis on management commitment, worker
    involvement, and risk control, ISO 45001 aims to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses,
    and fatalities by specifying requirements for an occupational health and safety
    management system. 

    This new standard, which will replace OHSAS 18001, follows the approach of other
    management systems such as ISO 14001 and ISO 90001. While ISO 45001 draws
    on certain aspects of OHSAS 18001, it is a new and distinct standard, not a revision or
    update, and is due to be phased out to organizations gradually over the next three
    years. Businesses will need to ensure their current thinking and worksite
    safety practices are in order to maintain organizational compliance. 

    What is OHSAS 18001? 

    OHSAS 18001 (https://www.nqa.com/en-us/certification/standards/ohsas-


    18001) focuses on controlling hazards. It provides a framework for the effective
    management of occupational health and safety including all aspects of risk
    management and legal compliance. It addresses occupational health and safety rather
    than any specific product safety matters.  

    What are the key differences between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001? 

    The main difference between the two standards is ISO 45001 takes a proactive
    approach that requires hazard risks to be evaluated and remedied before they cause
    accidents and injuries, while OHSAS 18001 takes a reactive approach that focuses solely
    on risks and not solutions.  

    The standards also diverge in many other ways:  

    Objectives & Performance: In ISO 45001, there is an increased focus on objectives as


    drivers for improvements and performance evaluation. These objectives can range in
    topics like participation of workers, internal and external communication, and
    procurement. 

    Structure: ISO 45001’s structure is based on Annex SL, which is the framework for


    other ISO management system standards—making implementation easier and more
    efficient. 

    Leadership & Management Commitment: ISO 45001 requires a stronger emphasis on


    top management to actively incorporate health and safety into the overall
    management system of the organization. 

    Risk & Opportunity Management: With ISO 45001, companies determine, consider,


    and take action to address both risks and opportunities that may disrupt
    production. Although ISO 45001 considers both, OHSAS 18001 deals exclusively with
    hazards.  

    Worker & Third-Party Involvement: ISO 45001 introduces enhanced focus on the


    needs and expectations for all workers and interested parties and requires employee
    training and education to identify risks. OHSAS 18001 does not allow for broader
    employee participation. 

     TALK WITH US
    These differences represent a significant shift in the way health and
    safety are managed. To succeed, business must reevaluate their current management
    systems and prepare to migrate to ISO 45001
    (https://www.avetta.com/resources/items/webinar-what-is-iso-45001).
