What is ISO 45001. ISO 45001:2018 is the world’s first occupational health and safety (OH&S) international standard. This new standard replaces the old OHSAS 18001:2007. ISO 45001 helps the organization provide a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, visitors, contractors & Interested parties, prevent deaths, work-related injury and ill-health as well as continually improve company OH&S performance. ​.

In our case our system is called “ VOHS” Van Reenen Steel Occupational Health & Safety Management System which is tailor-made for the organization as per its operational requirements. ​.
