The "45001" in ISO 45001:2018 refers to the
specific standard number assigned by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) to the occupational health and safety management system
(OH&S) standard.
ISO standards are identified by a unique numeric code. In
the case of ISO 45001, "45" indicates that it belongs to the category
of management system standards, and "001" is the sequential number
assigned to this particular standard within that category.
To break it down:
"45" indicates that it is a management system
standard. Management system standards provide guidelines and requirements for
establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving various management
systems in organizations, covering different aspects such as quality,
environment, energy, and health and safety.
"001" is the sequential number assigned to the
specific standard within the management system category. In this case, ISO
45001 is the first standard in the management system series specifically dedicated
to occupational health and safety.
So, ISO 45001:2018 OHSMS is
the international standard that provides guidelines and requirements for
establishing an occupational health and safety management system. It was
published in 2018 and replaced the previous British Standard OHSAS 18001,
becoming the globally recognized benchmark for OH&S management systems.
