Compulsory documents and records required

by ISO 45001:2018
Here are the documents you need to produce
if you want to be compliant with ISO 45001:
For organizations that are serious about improving employee safety, reducing workplace
risks and creating better, safer working conditions, there’s ISO 45001.
According to the International Labour Organization, more than 7 600 people die from work-
related accidents or diseases every single day. That’s why an ISO committee of occupational
health & safety experts set to work to develop an International Standard with the potential
to save almost three million lives each year. Structured in a similar way to other
ISO management systems, the approach will be familiar to users of standards such as
ISO 14001 or ISO 9001. ISO 45001 builds on the success of earlier international standards in
this area such as OHSAS 18001, the International Labour Organization’s ILO-OSH Guidelines,
various national standards and the ILO’s international labour standards and conventions.
