What ISO 45001 Requires
ISO 45001:2018 uses the High Level Structure and organizes OHSMS requirements across context, worker participation, leadership, planning, support, operation, evaluation, and improvement.
Context of the Organisation
Organizational context, needs and expectations of workers and other interested parties, scope of the OHSMS.
Leadership & Worker Participation
Top management commitment, OHS policy, organizational roles, consultation and participation of workers — fundamental to ISO 45001.
Planning
Hazard identification, risk assessment, determination of legal and other requirements, OH&S objectives and planning to achieve them.
Support
Resources, competence, awareness, communication (internal and external), and documented information management.
Operation
Operational planning and control, hierarchy of controls, management of change, procurement, contractors, outsourcing, and emergency preparedness and response.
Performance & Improvement
Monitoring, measurement, analysis, evaluation, internal audit, management review. Incident, nonconformity and corrective action; continual improvement.
The ISO 45001 Certification Process
From Stage 1 to Stage 2 audit to surveillance and recertification — every step led by a qualified ISO 45001 lead auditor with HSE practitioner background.
Stage 1 Readiness Review
Voluntary readiness review — quick audit of existing OHSMS documentation, risk register, and procedures to identify gaps against ISO 45001.
Stage 1 Audit
Confirms your organization is prepared for the Stage 2 certification audit. Focuses on documentation, risk assessments, and design review.
Stage 2 Audit
An auditor performs the onsite audit analysing your OHSMS through reviews, observations, and interviews with workers and management.
Certificate Issued
Once areas of concern are addressed, certification is issued for 3 years.
Surveillance Audits
Year 2 and 3 surveillance audits — confirm ongoing conformity and continual improvement of the OHSMS.
Recertification
Full recertification audit — renews your ISO 45001 certificate for another 3-year cycle.
