Publication ISO 45001 expected in February 2018

On November 7, 2017, ISO issued a letter to members of ISO/PC 283 indicating that the final draft international standard (FDIS) ballot for ISO 45001 will begin November 30, 2017, and close on January 25, 2018. If the FDIS ballot is successful, ISO 45001 will be published in February 2018.

In addition, a previous announcement has been made by BSI (British Standards Institute), that the OHSAS 18001 Standard will be withdrawn on publication of ISO 45001 and organizations currently certified to OHSAS 18001 will have a three-year period to migrate to ISO 45001.
