Certification & Readiness

ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It covers hazard identification, worker consultation, operational controls and incident investigation.

Certification is issued by an independent certification body after an audit. StandardsDesk does not audit or certify — we introduce your enquiry to suitable independent consultants and certification bodies who quote you directly.

Independent referral service: StandardsDesk does not perform ISO audits and does not issue certificates. We refer suitable enquiries to independent consultants and certification bodies, and we may receive a referral fee. Submitting a request does not guarantee certification, a particular price, or acceptance by any provider. Read the affiliate disclosure.

FAQ

ISO 45001 questions we're asked most

Does ISO 45001 replace our legal health and safety duties?

No. It provides a framework for managing them, but statutory duties in your jurisdiction still apply and should be confirmed with a qualified health and safety professional.

Can it be integrated with ISO 9001 or ISO 14001?

Yes. The standards share a common structure, so many organisations run an integrated system with combined audits. Note existing certifications in the quote form so providers can price accordingly.

What drives the cost?

Usually headcount, number and type of sites, risk profile of the work and how much is already documented. Quotes come from the independent provider, not from StandardsDesk.

Is StandardsDesk a certification body?

No. We are an independent referral service. We do not perform audits or issue certificates, and we may receive a referral fee when an introduction leads to business.
