OHSAS 18001 is an international standard that outlines requirements for an effective occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). It helps organizations improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions. The standard provides a framework for organizations to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement controls to minimize accidents and injuries. Organizations that adopt OHSAS 18001 can demonstrate their commitment to health and safety, which can enhance their reputation and potentially lead to increased productivity. Although it has been replaced by the ISO 45001 standard, many principles from OHSAS 18001 continue to influence modern safety management practices.
