1. INTRODUCTION
This Implementation Guidance has been developed to assist users in understanding the issues that need to be considered when moving towards using ISO 45001.
A wide diffusion of this implementation guidance is recommended, in particular the comparison tables between OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO 45001:2018. These show the correspondence between the clauses of the standards and can be found in Annex A at the end of this paper.
The development of ISO 45001 introduces a new 10 clause structure, several new requirements and new terms. Users will need to plan how to incorporate these changes into their occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS).
Additional information and guidance from ISO and its Project Committee 283 (ISO/PC 283) on ISO 45001 can be found on its web site at: https://committee.iso.org/pc283
2. BACKGROUND TO THE ISO 45001 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Prior to the development of a management system standard in ISO, a “Justification Study” is prepared to present a case for the proposed project. In relation to the development of ISO 45001 user needs were identified from the following:
a) The demands from users for the requirements of management system standards to be better aligned, to enable “integration” into their organization’s management systems.
This led to the development by ISO of a “High Level Structure” (often referred to as “Annex SL”) which provides a common clause sequence (structure), text, terms and definitions for its management system standards. This “High Level Structure” has been applied during the development of ISO 45001.
b) The OHSAS Project Group’s 2011 Survey of standards and certificates, which showed there are now more than 90000 certificates issued in 127 countries and the need for an ISO International Standard for this discipline.
The Justification Study identified that ISO 45001 would need to:1) enable organizations to provide safe and healthy working environments2) be generic and relevant to all types and sizes of organizations, operating in any sector, and be
able to accommodate diverse geographical, cultural and social conditions.3) be capable of being applied to the widest possible range of organizations with varying
degrees of maturity of their OHSMS4) specify the essential components of an OHSMS 5) enable organizations to demonstrate conformity to the requirements6) enable organizations to identity, assess and control their OH&S risks and improve their OH&S
performance7) align with other management system standards (in particular ISO 14001 for environmental
management systems).
2 Version: Rev 1
The expected benefits identified for ISO 45001:2018 include:I. Provides clarity on OHSMS issuesII. Enhanced leadership involvement and worker participation in the OHSMS III. Risk-based thinking for the OHSMS, as well as for OH&S risksIV. Alignment of the OH&S policy and objectives with the strategic direction of the organizationV. Integration of the OHSMS into the business processes of the organizationVI. Simplified language, common structure and terms
3. USER GROUPS
3.1 Individual organizations using OHSAS 18001

4. IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
4.1 Generic guidance
All users groups are strongly advised to note the IAF’s Mandatory Document IAF MD 21: Requirements on the Migration to ISO 45001:2018 from OHSAS 18001:2007 (see: http://www.iaf.nu/upFiles/IAFMD21MigrationtoISO450012018Pub.pdf) for implementation of accredited certification to ISO 45001:2018, which details the agreed implementation plan for accredited certification, as follows:
a) Accredited certification to ISO 45001:2018 shall not be granted until the publication of ISO 45001:2018 as an International Standard.
Accredited certification of conformity to ISO 45001:2018 and/or national equivalents shall only be issued after the official publication of ISO 45001:2018 (currently targeted for 1st quarter of 2018), by an accredited certification body, and after a certification audit against ISO 45001:2018.
3 Version: Rev 1
b) Validity of certifications to OHSAS 18001:2007
OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications will not be valid after three years from publication of ISO 45001:2018.
The expiry date of certifications to OHSAS 18001:2007 issued during the migration period needs to correspond to the end of the three year migration period.

Figure 1 - Implementation timetable for ISO 45001:2018, for all user groups
To benefit from the changes introduced into ISO 45001:2018, users (from all user groups) should note the recommendations given below. Recommendations for specific user groups are given in section 4.2 further down.
1) To get acquainted with the new edition of the standard use the following resources: Guidance available at https://committee.iso.org/pc283 The correspondence matrices between OHSAS 18001:2008 and ISO 45001:2018,
which provides a before and after view of the clauses (see Annex A below)
2) Determine the impact of the changes of the new version on your current use of OHSAS 18001 and plan any necessary remedial actions.
3) Use the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology to manage the implementation. Note that the actions may need to vary according to your user group (see 4.2 below).
4.2 Guidance for specific user groups These recommendations complement the generic guidance to all user groups given in section 3.0 above.
4.2.1 Organizations using OHSAS 18001:2007
a) Current usersOrganisations that are already certified to OHSAS 18001:2007 should contact their certification/registration bodies (CB/RB) to agree a program for analysing the clarifications in ISO 45001:2018 in relation to their individual OHSMS and for upgrading their certificates.
4 Version: Rev 1
Certified organizations should bear in mind that OHSAS 18001:2007 certificates have the same status as new ISO 45001:2018 certificates during the co-existence period.
Organizations in the process of certification to OHSAS 18001:2008 should change to using ISO 45001:2018 and apply for certification to it (however, if your organization is nearing completion of its certification process, then it may be preferable for your organization to complete its certification to OHSAS 18001, and then look at converting to using ISO 45001).
b) New usersNew users should start by using ISO 45001:2018.
Note: Unaccredited certifications do not have the same status as accredited certifications, and organizations with unaccredited OHSAS 18001 certifications may require additional audit time in order to achieve accredited certification to ISO 45001.
4.2.2 National Standards Bodies
Information regarding ISO 45001 should be communicated to potential users by the national standards bodies (NSBs), in a timely manner. It is recommended that NSB actions be synchronized with the information flows from ISO, ISO/PC 283, the OHSAS Project Group and the IAF.
NSBs may find they are responsible, at a national level, for communicating the issues regarding the changes from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001 to all interested parties. It is recommended that they coordinate their communications regarding these issues with other local interested parties (for example: ABs, CB/RBs, professional OH&S associations, etc.).
Translation Issues – Where NSBs need to provide translations of the standard into their own national languages, it is recommended that they start this as early as possible.
NSBs encountering any interpretation problems in the preparation of their translations of ISO 45001 should contact the ISO/PC 283 Secretariat for assistance.
4.2.3 Accreditation Bodies
ABs should refer to the IAF’s Mandatory Document IAF MD 21: Requirements on the Migration to ISO 45001:2018 from OHSAS 18001:2007 for the implementation of accredited certification to ISO 45001:2018 (see 4.1 above).
AB’s should be reminded that they can only grant accreditation for certification to ISO 45001:2018 after the official publication of the standard.
AB’s should train their assessors and verify their competence to assess CB’s providing ISO 45001:2018 certifications.
5 Version: Rev 1
4.2.4 Certification Bodies
CBs should refer to the IAF’s Mandatory Document IAF MD 21: Requirements on the Migration to ISO 45001:2018 from OHSAS 18001:2007 for the implementation of accredited certification to ISO 45001:2018 (see 4.1 above).
CBs should remember that certificates of conformity to ISO 45001:2018 and/or its national equivalent adoptions can only be issued after the official publication of the standard.
Prior to allowing their auditors to conduct audits against ISO 45001, it is important that accredited certification bodies ensure that their auditors are aware of:
the changes introduced in ISO 45001:2018 compared to OHSAS 18001, and their implications
the requirements of ISO/IEC TS 17021-10 Conformity assessment -- Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems -- Part 10: Competence requirements for auditing and certification of occupational health and safety management systems (The TS is due to be published concurrently with ISO 45001)
It is also important that other CB personnel (for example, those making certification decisions) are aware of the changes in ISO 45001:2018 compared to OHSAS 18001, and their implications.
4.2.5 Training Bodies and Consultants
All trainers and consultants should be aware of the changes introduced by ISO 45001:2018. All training bodies and consultants are recommended to determine the need for updating training programs and documentation, or any other changes necessary, to the services they provide.
4.2.6 Legislative or Regulatory Bodies
Where legislative or regulatory bodies have referenced or adopted OHSAS 18001 in their legislation or regulations or other communications, they should review ISO 45001 to determine if it is acceptable as an alternative. In the longer term, the legislation/regulations/ communications may need to be updated to reference or adopt ISO 45001. Until such updating occurs, it is recommended that the legislative or regulatory bodies should issue a communique to advise that they will accept ISO 45001 in place of OHSAS 18001.
5.0 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
While this Implementation Guidance provides recommendations on a number of issues facing the different user groups during the co-existence period, it does not address more general questions about ISO 45001. Instead ISO/PC 283 is preparing a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to provide such advice.
It is expected that the FAQs will be updated on a more regular basis than this Implementation Guidance. For the latest version of the FAQs, reference should be made to the open access web site at https://committee.iso.org/pc283
