Additionally, ISO 45001 aims to determine a secure working environment and continual improvement of occupational health and safety performance. ISO 45001 will replace OHSAS 18001 and can become subsequent “to go” standard for occupational health and safety.
Is ISO 45001 certification right for me?
If you’ve got certification to OHSAS 18001 you’ll get to migrate to ISO 45001 to take care of the validity of certification. ISO 45001 is true if you and your organization got to demonstrate a commitment in managing the security of workers and interested parties. If you’ve got already implemented a top quality or environmental management system aligned with the new Annex SL structure ISO 45001 are often integrated smoothly.
Organizations that implement ISO 45001 need:
- defined objectives for improvement, with measurable results
- A structured approach to risk assessment and reduction
Health & safety management failures, performance and therefore the review of policies and objectives should be regularly monitored to make sure improvements and business benefits are realized and prioritized accordingly.

In some sectors and industries, independent third-party certification may be a legal or contractual requirement. Having a registered certificate also establishes credibility while demonstrating your processes meet customer and consumer expectations.
Certifications are valid for 3 years and achieved in two stages.
Stage one determines how ready your organization is for certification. What we do is:
- Review documents about your organization’s processes and management
- Perform an on-site inspection of procedures
- Report potential nonconformities (areas which may not meet standards)
Stage two is when our auditors return and do a comprehensive review of your quality management system. This is often where we:
- Confirm the effectiveness of your system
- Provide feedback about nonconformities
- Verify all standards are met
After an independent review confirms our decision, we:
- Issue a certificate saying you’ve met all ISO 45001 requirements
- Perform semiannual or annual surveillance audits to make sure the system is maintenance.
KEY FEATURES OF THE ISO 45001 STANDARD
Although ISO 45001 constitutes a totally new standard, its foundations exist already and are formulated.
Key improvements:
ISO 45001 implements the ‘high level structure’, giving it a standard framework with other management systems, like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. ISO 45001 explicitly includes persons who aren’t permanently employed, but are in other ways working under the responsibility of the organization/company, like subcontractors, also as processes that are outsourced in their entirety.
The standard also introduces the term “opportunities”, as a replacement aspect within the field of occupational health and safety. This covers issues that transcend the mere elimination or minimization of OHS risks and hazards.
