BS EN ISO 45001-2023 PDF

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN ISO 45001:2023. It is identical to ISO 45001:2018. It supersedes BS ISO 45001:2018 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007, which are withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee HS/1, Occupational health and safety management. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its committee manager.

This document provides a framework to enable businesses to implement effective arrangements for managing occupational health and safety (OH&S). The requirements should be met in a way that is proportionate to the hazards identified and the OH&S risks to be managed.

For smaller businesses or those with less complex and/or less hazardous operations, managers and workers may in many cases already have a good sense of their main workplace risks; this standard simply provides a framework for managing them in a more structured way.

Organizations should create documented information to meet the requirements of this standard to the extent necessary for the effective establishment, implementation and maintenance of the OH&S management system and to comply with relevant legislation. Under UK legislation, organizations cannot delegate legal responsibility for the day-to-day control of OH&S risk even if third-party expertise, advice or services are used.
