The approved checklist was also used in the study prepared by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the number of questions was (95) distributed among (6) lists representing the number of main and subsidiary requirements. As for the means of statistical analysis, the weighted mean and the percentage of application were used. And documentation to express the extent of the difference and conformity with the requirements of the specification. The results of the study show that there are large gaps between the actual reality in (Al-Zahraa Teaching Hospital in Wasit) and the requirements of the occupational health and safety management system in accordance with (ISO 45001:2018) for the requirements of the main standard, which are as follows: The context of the organization (72%); Leadership (43.3%); Planning (48.34%); The process (74.73%); Performance evaluation (60%); Improvement (48.34%).
