What Is ISO 45001:2018?
ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
It provides a systematic framework that organizations can use to manage occupational health and safety risks and improve OH&S performance.
An effective OHSMS can help an organization establish structured processes for:
- Identifying workplace hazards
- Assessing OH&S risks
- Determining appropriate controls
- Meeting applicable requirements
- Consulting and involving workers
- Monitoring OH&S performance
- Investigating incidents
- Addressing nonconformities
- Implementing corrective actions
- Continually improving the management system
For professionals responsible for health and safety, understanding how to audit these processes is an important technical and professional capability.
Why ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training Matters
Occupational health and safety risks exist across virtually every industry, although their nature and significance vary considerably.
A construction company may deal with working at height, machinery, excavation and site hazards.
An oil and gas organization may manage risks associated with hazardous substances, process operations, confined spaces and high-energy activities.
A manufacturing facility may face machinery, chemical, ergonomic, electrical and operational risks.
Healthcare organizations may manage biological, chemical, ergonomic and workplace safety hazards.
These different environments require systematic approaches to identifying and controlling OH&S risks.
ISO 45001 provides a management-system framework for doing this, while competent auditors help organizations evaluate whether their systems are effectively implemented and maintained.

ISO 45001 and Workplace Safety in Nigeria
