ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems, replacing the earlier OHSAS 18001. It follows a Plan-Do-Check-Act approach grounded in risk assessment.
Certification requires a documented safety management system, genuine worker participation in identifying hazards and proposing improvements, and clear, ongoing commitment from senior leadership to safety objectives and their review.
For contractors, the certification is a recognized advantage in major tenders, helps reduce incident rates, and provides a documented record that supports transparency across the Kingdom's large Vision 2030 projects.
