What is ISO 45001 certification?

ISO 45001 helps organisations improve workplace safety and minimise employee injuries.

 

It provides a framework for building an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&S Management System) to identify and mitigate risks and monitor workplace activities. By implementing ISO 45001 and integrating employee wellbeing and wellness activities, organisations can proactively prevent workplace ill-health and injury.

 

This global ISO standard supports the development of health and safety policies and objectives, determines hazards and health risks, and implements controls and procedures to reduce the risk of harm.

 

Successfully achieving ISO 45001 certification encourages active employee involvement, leading to a safer workplace and less disruption to operations due to staff illness or health-related absence.

How to become ISO 45001-certified

 

It’s an easy process to become ISO 45001 certified.

 

To achieve ISO 45001 certification, you must show evidence that your Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&S Management System) meets the standards needed for certification. Our expert ISO auditors will conduct a comprehensive multi-stage assessment process to audit your OH&S Management System and determine if it meets the global standard requirements.

Our in-house Client Success Team will be in touch to explain the process and help you make plans for your Stage 1 assessment.

  • Stage 1 assessment – identifying gaps

    There’s no pressure for the first assessment; many are surprised by what they already have in place. The report issued will highlight the steps you need to take to achieve your certification.

  • Stage 2 assessment – in-depth review

    When you’re ready, our auditor will complete a full assessment to establish if your management systems and processes meet the requirements of the standard. A critical part of your Stage 2 assessment will be reviewing real examples of the delivery of your products and services. You’ll be advised of the Auditor’s recommendations on the day, which will be ratified by our Compliance department, and your certification will be issued following the decision subject to compliance with the standard.

  • SUCCESS! Certification issued

    We’ll help keep you up-to-date. ISO certification’s excellent reputation is driven by its requirement for ongoing assessments and continual improvement, so we’ll keep in touch and arrange annual assessments to keep your certification up to date.
