New global health and safety standard to be published

ISO 45001, the long-awaited new international standard for occupational safety and health, is set to be published in March. The first draft was published in July 2014 but there has been a complex development process involving a series of meetings, numerous iterations and hundreds of hours of deliberations among an international group of safety and health experts, according to the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
