ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Certification

ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems. It provides a framework to improve worker safety, reduce workplace risks, and create safer working conditions. ISO 45001 replaces the earlier OHSAS 18001 standard.

The standard uses the High-Level Structure (Annex SL), enabling clean integration with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for a combined quality, environmental, and safety management system.

ISO 45001 applies to organizations of any size and industry. Particularly common drivers include:

• Construction, industrial services, manufacturing, and field work
• Prime-contractor safety requirements and tender prerequisites
• Insurance, regulatory, and workers’ compensation considerations
• Demonstrating safety culture to customers, employees, and unions
• Migration from legacy OHSAS 18001 certification

• Context & interested parties — including workers, contractors, regulators.
• Leadership & worker participation — top-management commitment and consultation with workers at all levels.
• Planning — hazard identification, risk assessment, legal and other requirements, OH&S objectives.
• Support — resources, competence, awareness, communication, documented information.
• Operation — operational planning and control, eliminating hazards, change management, procurement, emergency preparedness.
• Performance evaluation — monitoring, measurement, incident investigation, internal audit, management review.
• Improvement — nonconformity and corrective action, continual improvement.

OH&S certification only works if it reflects how work is actually done on the ground. Our auditors are experienced with industrial, field, and operational environments — the documentation we guide and the audit we conduct are grounded in real operations, not aspirational policies.
