ISO 45001
ISO 45001 establishes requirements for implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OH&S MS), focused on preventing work-related injury and ill health and providing safe and healthy workplaces.
Explore the structure of the management system standard here.
Phases
Phase 1: Scope Definition
Define the OH&S management system scope, including organizational boundaries, activities, workplaces, and workers, ensuring alignment with business objectives and interested party requirements.
Phase 2: Gap Assessment and Governance
Conduct a gap assessment against ISO 45001 requirements to establish the OH&S implementation plan. Establish governance, including roles, responsibilities, leadership commitment, worker participation, and OH&S policy and objectives.
Phase 3: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Identify hazards, assess OH&S risks and opportunities, and determine applicable legal and other requirements to ensure effective risk control and prevention of incidents.
Phase 4: Process Establishment and Documentation
Establish and document OH&S processes, including operational controls, emergency preparedness and response, and documented information required to ensure consistent and effective implementation.
Phase 5: Operations and Performance Evaluation
Operate the OH&S management system, monitor performance, evaluate compliance with legal and other requirements, conduct internal audits and management reviews, and ensure worker competence and awareness.
Phase 6: Certification Audit (Stage 1 and Stage 2)
Prepare for and support the certification audit, including Stage 1 (documentation and readiness review) and Stage 2 (implementation and effectiveness assessment), ensuring all requirements are met and objective evidence is available.
Phase 7: Certification and Continual Improvement
Address audit findings, support certification decision activities, and ensure continual improvement of the OH&S management system to maintain certification and support surveillance audits.
Note: The defined phases are subject to adjustment based on the existence, current state, and maturity of the management system aligned with ISO 45001 requirements.
In addition, we provide ongoing support on a quarterly, biannual, or annual basis to maintain the management system in line with ISO 45001, ensuring continued conformity and successful surveillance or recertification assessments, as applicable.
