The Difference Between OHSAS 18001 & ISO 45001

There are many differences, but the main change is that ISO 45001 concentrates on the interaction between an organization and it's business environment while OHSAS 18001 was focused on managing OH&S hazards and other internal issues. But the standards also diverge in many other ways:

• ISO 45001 is process-based – OHSAS 18001 is procedure-based

• ISO 45001 is dynamic in all clauses – OHSAS 18001 is not

• ISO 45001 considers both risk and opportunities – OHSAS 18001 deals exclusively with risk

• ISO 45001 includes the views of interested parties – OHSAS 18001 does not
