This study provides a comparative analysis of two major OHS standards utilized in the construction industry: ISO 45001:2018 and OHSAS 18001:2007. Employing a systematic comparative analysis methodology, the study examines the scope, features, application areas, benefits, and challenges of implementing these standards in the construction industry. The findings highlight that while ISO 45001:2018 offers advanced integration capabilities and a proactive risk management approach, OHSAS 18001:2007 continues to be referenced in specific contexts. These insights underline the practical implications for construction companies aiming to adopt or transition between these standards. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the importance of aligning workplace safety practices with international standards to reduce occupational accidents and improve operational efficiency. The study's implications contribute to enhancing the understanding and practical application of OHS management systems in the construction industry.
