Our ISO 45001 services

How we support ISO 45001.

We help you find the most cost-effective route to achieving and maintaining ISO 45001 certification, whether you’re starting from scratch or part-way through the process.

  1. Step 1

    ISO 45001 Gap Analysis

    • An in-depth discovery process covering the procedural, technical and physical controls related to occupational health and safety
    • A methodical approach that covers every requirement of the standard
    • Clear findings on exactly which areas need to improve and how best to go about it
  2. Step 2

Our consultants work alongside your team to put that into practice. We focus on a system that works for your organisation and stands up to audit, not just documentation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to implement ISO 45001 with consultancy?

It depends on the size and complexity of your organisation, your existing processes and documentation, and the resources available. Typically, ISO 45001 implementation can take 6 to 12 months, depending on the scope of the project.

Can you guarantee successful certification?

We have a 100% success rate guiding our clients through ISO 45001 certification, however, it’s important to note that the certificate we support you through is carried by an entirely independent, accredited certification body and by its nature is not something we can ever guarantee. We believe this gives you a level of compliance that is second to none.

Can you help with maintenance and continuous improvement after certification?

Yes. We can provide ongoing support to help you maintain compliance with the standard and continually improve your occupational health and safety management system. This can include regular internal audits, facilitating management reviews, training and guidance on process improvements, and helping you address any areas where you are no longer meeting the standard.

Can I implement ISO 45001 without the help of a consultancy?

Yes. It’s perfectly possible, and some businesses do so if they have suitable expertise in-house. However, ISO 45001 implementation can be complex, time-consuming and easily postponed in favour of more immediate issues. Working with an experienced ISO 45001 consultant can help make sure all requirements are met effectively and efficiently.

How long does ISO 45001 certification last?

Certification is maintained through periodic surveillance audits by your certification body; if the organisation stops meeting the standard’s requirements, certification can be suspended. You need to keep monitoring and improving your occupational health and safety management system to retain it. Our consultants can provide ongoing support to help you maintain your certification.
