ISO 45001 FAQs
ISO 45001 is an international occupational health and safety management system standard, designed to help organisations create safer, healthier working environments. By implementing ISO 45001, businesses can reduce workplace risks, enhance employee safety, and ensure compliance with international safety regulations.
Published in 2018, ISO 45001 replaced OHSAS 18001, providing a more robust, proactive approach to safety management. At its heart is a risk management focus, encouraging organisations to identify and address potential hazards before they cause harm. This isn’t just about ticking regulatory boxes—it’s about embedding safety into your everyday operations. Strong leadership involvement and employee participation are also important, ensuring that safety is a shared responsibility at every level of your organisation.
For businesses, achieving ISO 45001 certification demonstrates a commitment to creating a safe and supportive workplace. It also brings long-term benefits like improved compliance, enhanced safety performance, and even a stronger reputation with clients, regulators, and employees.
By implementing an ISO 45001-compliant safety management system, your organisation can proactively manage risks, preventing incidents before they occur. This standard focuses on leadership involvement and worker participation, ensuring safety is embedded throughout your business.
ISO 45001 takes a proactive approach, requiring organisations to integrate health and safety management into their overall operations. It’s designed for continual improvement, encouraging regular evaluations and updates to ensure ongoing compliance and effectiveness.
Certification isn’t legally required, but many businesses choose to pursue it to demonstrate their commitment to best practices in occupational health and safety. Achieving certification can also improve your organisation’s reputation and help attract new business.
Implementing ISO 45001 improves overall workplace safety, reduces accidents, and promotes employee well-being. A safer environment means happier, more engaged employees, which can lead to better productivity and lower absenteeism due to ill health.
Certification involves implementing a compliant occupational health and safety management system, conducting a risk assessment, and undergoing an external audit from a certification body accredited with the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). Omny’s consultants will guide you through the process to ensure smooth and successful certification.
ISO 45001 is particularly valuable in higher-risk industries like construction, manufacturing, and healthcare, where the potential for accidents is greater. However, it’s applicable to businesses of all sizes and sectors aiming to improve their safety standards.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your organisation’s current systems. Typically, certification can take several months, but our consultants will guide you through the process efficiently.
Costs vary based on the size and complexity of your organisation. Our team can provide a detailed estimate tailored to your specific needs.
