The
goal of ISO 45001 is the reduction of occupational injuries and diseases. The
standard is based on OHSAS 18001, conventions and guidelines of the
International Labour Organization including ILO OSH 2001, and national
standards. It includes elements that are additional to BS OHSAS 18001 which it
is replacing over a three-year migration period from 2018 to 2021. ISO 45001
also follows the High-Level Structure of other ISO standards like ISO 9001:2015
and ISO 14001:2015 which makes integration of these standards much easier.

Nigerian
companies are very well placed to take the lead in several areas, leveraging
off our huge untapped and under-served market, but having strong quality and
safety standards is a must for all of us. The United Nations 17 Sustainable
Development Goals also provide a template on which we can build new business
policies, procedures and models, that are most likely to be highly profitable
in the medium to long-term.”
