Health and safety standards

BSI is the world leader in occupational health and safety management systems. We were the originators of the first guide on occupational health and safety in 1996 which laid the foundation for OHSAS 18001, the standard upon which the world’s first global occupational health and safety management system – ISO 45001 - was built.

Strict health and safety standards are within your reach – our publications and accreditation guidelines outline essential health and safety practices that help you achieve optimum working conditions.

We can help you reduce work-related illness and injury and cut related costs. And our resources cover everything from PPE standards to machinery safety. Understand your responsibilities – compliance brings business benefits.

Using standards can offer a set of powerful business and marketing tools for organizations for all sizes. You can use them to fine-tune your performance and manage the risks you face while operating in more efficient and sustainable ways; they'll allow you to demonstrate the quality of what you do to your customers; and they help you to see how to embed best practice in to your organization.
