ISO 45001 aims to standardize the way OH&S management systems manage occupational health and safety risks to prevent work-related injury and ill health to workers and to provide safe and healthy workplaces. It is designed to eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks by taking effective preventive and protective measures.
