There has been a 2,500-year evolution in structured means of control and management systems. Occupational health and safety management systems are an essential tool for initiating and driving cultural change, and for establishing a framework for continual improvement in safety performance. Navigating ISO 45001 charts this evolution up to the launch of the world's first occupational health and safety management system (OH&S-MS) standard ISO 45001:2018, and then forecasts its future for the next ten years.

This book delivers approaches and techniques that include the Navigating 45001: Three-Step Model, sixteen OH&S-MS implementation Toolkits, and 24 case studies presented as practical examples to facilitate your organization's success in this critical business area. Acting as the essential companion to Health and Safety, Environment, and Quality Audits: A Risk-based Approach (Asbury, 2023) which is now in its fourth edition and has sold thousands of copies, this new book presents OH&S-MS from the organization's side. Written with the safety manager in mind, it will become the "go-to" title for those who aspire to drive a prosperous and thriving organization based on world-class OH&S management and performance.

Navigating ISO 45001 is an essential reading for senior managers and safety managers in any safety-critical role or profession.
