In 2018, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a global federation of national standards bodies released ISO 45001, Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems – Requirements with Guidance for Use. The standard was adopted by ANSI as ANSI/ASSP/ISO 45001 also in 2018.

Similar to ANSI Z10, ISO 45001 is a management systems consensus standard based on the continual improvement process of plan‐do‐check‐act. In the standard’s “Planning” section, it includes requirements for hazard identification and assessment (6.1.2). Section 6.1.2.1 Hazard identification requires an organization to “establish, implement, and maintain a process(es) for hazard identification that is ongoing and proactive.” In the following section (6.1.2.2) the standard states requirements for assessing risks to include “methodology(ies) and criteria for the assessment of OH&S risks shall be defined with respect to their scope, nature and timing to ensure they are proactive rather than reactive and are used in a systematic way.” (ANSI/ASSP/ISO 45001 2018)

Other related elements addressed by the standard include: eliminating hazards and reducing OH&S risks using the hierarchy of controls; MOC; procurement; contractors; outsourcing; and emergency preparedness and response.
