ISO 45001 Health & Safety

What ISO 45001 is

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It replaced OHSAS 18001 and places strong emphasis on leadership accountability, worker participation, and managing risk at the point it arises.

It is designed to sit alongside your existing health and safety arrangements and legal duties, giving them a coherent structure and a cycle of review and improvement.

Why organisations certify

• Commonly required for principal-contractor and public sector work
• Supports and evidences compliance with UK health and safety law
• Reduces incidents, lost time, and associated cost
• Demonstrates a genuine safety culture to clients and insurers

How we support you

Hazard identification and risk assessment

We review how hazards are identified and assessed across your activities, and strengthen the risk assessment process so it reflects the work as actually done.

Legal register and compliance

We compile your health and safety legal register and put a process in place for evaluating compliance against it.

Worker consultation and participation

ISO 45001 expects meaningful worker involvement. We help you set up consultation arrangements that satisfy the standard and genuinely surface issues.

Incident management and audit

We establish incident reporting, investigation and corrective action processes, then run internal audits and support management review ahead of certification.

What you get

• Safer workplaces with risk controlled at source
• Lower accident and incident rates
• A stronger, more visible safety culture
• Evidence of legal compliance for clients and insurers
