One of the most significant human resources challenges faced by businesses is the lack of a safe and healthy working environment for employees. In order to achieve better competitive standing, organizations must conduct planned and systematic work regarding occupational health and safety.

Standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 focus on quality and environmental management; therefore, a separate standard was needed to ensure, continually improve, and maintain occupational health and safety in organizations.
