Case Study
ISO 45001 GAP Analysis: Nexfibre’s Roadmap to Compliance
Client Overview
Nexfibre is a leading provider of fibre optic solutions, dedicated to delivering high-speed internet and communication services across the UK. With a commitment to innovation and quality, Nexfibre aims to enhance connectivity and support the digital transformation of businesses and communities.
Project Overview
The objective was to carry out an ISO 45001 GAP Analysis to benchmark Nexfibre’s existing health and safety practices against the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard. The aim was to determine their current positioning and assess their readiness to begin the formal implementation process toward certification.
Challenges
At the time of engagement, Nexfibre did not have ISO 45001 in place. Key challenges included:
- No existing alignment with the ISO 45001 framework
- Limited visibility into current strengths and gaps in the health and safety management system
- Need to identify any immediate risks or compliance issues
- Requirement for a clear, actionable roadmap to guide potential ISO 45001 implementation
