ISO 45001

Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

Occupational health & safety management that protects your people.

About ISO 45001:2018

ISO 45001 is built around a simple premise: worker safety should be designed into how work happens, not bolted on after an incident. The standard requires organisations to systematically identify hazards, assess and control risk, and give workers a genuine voice in shaping the safety measures that affect them — covering everyone on site, including contractors and visitors, not just direct employees. It shifts health and safety from a compliance checklist handled by one department into a leadership responsibility that runs through the whole organisation, with clear accountability when something goes wrong and a structured process for making sure it does not happen again.

Key Benefits

  • Fewer workplace incidents, injuries, and lost working days
  • Lower insurance, liability, and incident-related costs over time
  • Demonstrable leadership accountability for worker safety outcomes
  • A safety culture that includes contractors, visitors, and workers alike

Who It's For

  • Construction & heavy industry
  • Warehousing & logistics operations
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Any employer with workplace risk

How It Works

Getting ISO 45001:2018 Certified

01

Application & Scope Review

Tell us about your organisation and its scope — we review fit against the standard and respond with a clear, itemised quotation.

02

Stage 1 Audit

A documentation and readiness review confirming your management system is designed to meet the standard before any on-site assessment begins.

03

Stage 2 Audit

An on-site (or remote, where permitted) assessment of how the system actually operates in practice, checked against every applicable clause.

04

Independent Certification Decision

A reviewer who was not part of the audit team evaluates the findings and makes the certification decision — the impartiality safeguard behind every certificate we issue.

05

Certificate Issued & Verifiable

Your certificate is issued with a QR code for instant online verification, valid for three years subject to annual surveillance audits.

Documentation You'll Need

  • Management system scope, policy, and objectives
  • Risk/opportunity assessment and planning records
  • Competence, training, and awareness evidence
  • Monitoring, measurement, and internal audit records
  • Management review minutes and corrective action records

Indicative, not exhaustive — your auditor confirms the exact list for your scope during Stage 1.

Validity & Surveillance

A ISO 45001:2018 certificate is valid for three years from the date of issue, subject to annual surveillance audits that confirm the management system is still being maintained — not a one-time snapshot. Recertification before the three-year expiry keeps the certificate (and the QR-code verification behind it) current.
