ISO 45001

In a nutshell, ISO 45001 is all about providing businesses with practical solutions to managing Health & Safety risks, while simultaneously keeping costs down.

It’s the new and improved international standard for Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Management, and it replaces the previous OHSAS 18001 standard.

By applying for and achieving ISO 45001 certification, you’ll reduce your workplace’s Health & Safety risks, which keeps you, your business, your employees and members of the public as safe as possible – and proves it with an accredited certificate.

The benefits of being ISO 45001 certified

There are plenty of benefits to achieving ISO 45001 certification, like:

• Helping to enhance Health & Safety awareness in your business and encouraging employees to take a more active role in driving safety.
• Improving your business’ reputation on an international scale, giving you a competitive edge.
• Offering reassurance to customers that Health & Safety is of upmost importance to your business.
