Why do I need ISO 45001?

Gaining and maintaining ISO 45001 certification demonstrates high degrees of commitment to health and safety. Gaining certification shows that health and safety is driven through company culture via an independently audited management system that helps to drive risks down continuously.

Stakeholders such as employees, shareholders and suppliers will look more favourably towards a business that has ISO 45001 certification as it demonstrates consistent measurement and improvement of your organisation’s health and safety, meaning a safe and low risk as possible environment.

Having this certification also means that you may qualify for tenders. It is becoming more widely stipulated that organisations should have their management systems ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified by an independent certification body to pre-qualify for a contract.

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the international standard for an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) and will fully replace OHSAS 18001 in 2021.

The standard covers a range of aspects that you need to demonstrate including:

General requirements of the OHSMS and context of the organisation

Demonstrating leadership and commitment to the OHSMS

Identification and planning to address risks and opportunities of the OHSMS

Communication, company wide adoption and training around the OHSMS

Operational response to reduction of risks and emergencies

The benefits to those who have ISO 45001

Increase health and safety awareness across the business will reduce risk

Increase in commercial opportunities due to pre-qualification for contracts and tenders

Increase positive brand perception demonstrating that your organisation cares

Significantly reducing risk will reduce threat of penalties for non compliance

Reduce sickness levels in the business and increase efficiencies

Having a certified OHSMS can save money on insurance premiums

The process

The beginning bit

First of all you need a management system put in place that is ‘assessment ready’. If you need help to do this, get in touch.
Complete our quick estimate form so we have some information about you.
We will let you know the estimated cost based on the information you have provided.
If you want to proceed, simply let us know by email.
We need to make sure enough assessment days are allocated, so we will call you to gain a deeper understanding of your business. This will result in a final quote.

The middle bit

We will match you with one of our excellent auditors and book in your date for a “Stage One Assessment.” This assessment is a document review to ensure your management system meets the ISO standards.
Your “Stage Two Assessment” will also be programmed in, usually 4-6 weeks after your Stage One. This is a review of your day to day operations so that we can collect evidence to demonstrate your working practices are in line with your management system.
If there are no major non conformances following your Stage Two you will be recommended to be certified. If there are non conformances you will have 6 weeks to address them and provide evidence of these. A decision maker will review the final report, verify this and then a certificate will be issued.

The ongoing bit

Once you have gained certification you enter into a cycle of surveillance audits. We always provide a consistent and efficient audit program.
These are much shorter than the initial audit and are carried out to ensure your organisation is meeting the ISO standard.
When you come towards the end of the three years, we will be in touch to organise a re-assessment visit. This won’t be as in detail as the initial audit and will start off the next three year cycle.
We always work closely with our clients to ensure they are happy with our service and have ongoing communications throughout your cycle to discuss any changes that may effect your certification.
