Industry reference
ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015 provide the management systems. In the United States OSHA's 29 CFR 1904 recordkeeping and 1910 general-industry standards set the legal floor, with the EPA governing environmental permits; in the UK the Health and Safety at Work Act and RIDDOR apply; across the EU the Framework Directive 89/391 does.
Sector rules add specifics: OSHA's bloodborne pathogens standard and Joint Commission environment-of-care standards in healthcare; 29 CFR 1960 for US federal agencies; construction standards (1926) and data-centre electrical safety for technology and facilities operations. Safety performance also feeds ESG disclosure under GRI 403 and ESRS S1.
