What is ISO 45001:2018?

ISO 45001:2018 is the global standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), replacing the older OHSAS 18001 framework. It gives any organisation factory, office, or worksite a structured way to find hazards before they become accidents.

It runs on the same continuous-improvement logic used across every modern management standard: Plan, Do, Check, Act. SSATAX builds this cycle into your business so safety isn't a one-time certificate it's a habit.

02 · DO

03 · CHECK

New rules making ISO 45001 essential in 2026

India's labour compliance landscape has changed. Here's what's now in force and how ISO 45001 lines up with it.

Unified Board

Single National OSH Advisory Board

Sector-specific safety committees for factories, mines, docks & construction are now consolidated under one national authority.

Employer Duty

Accountability sits with you

Clinical oversight & hazard documentation responsibilities now rest directly with employers a certified OHSMS is the cleanest way to show due diligence.

Tenders

Vendor pre-qualification

Government departments, PSUs & large private buyers increasingly score or require ISO 45001 in tender & vendor empanelment criteria.
