Overview

ISO 45001 is the global standard for occupational health and safety management systems. The world has seen steady growth in adopting the standard since it was published in March 2018. OSHA is The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency of the United States Department of Labor.  OSHA's mission is to assure safe and healthy working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education and assistance. The Certificate of Recognition program (COR^®) is a Canadian occupational health and safety accreditation program that verifies a fully implemented safety & health program which meets Canadian standards.

All these programs promote the health and safety of workers, but what are the differences between the programs and where do they align?  A comparison of ISO 45001, OSHA, and COR^® will be valuable to organizations that want to improve their health and safety framework.
