01Fundamental Concepts and Principles of OH&S Management and an OH&S MS
An occupational health and safety management system (OH&S MS) is the set of interrelated or interacting elements an organization uses to establish OH&S policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives. ISO 45001 follows the same high-level structure (Harmonized Structure) as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, which is why clauses 4–10 read almost identically across these standards.
