ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety Certification
Safe and Healthy Workplaces Thanks to ISO 45001 Certification
Modern occupational health and safety goes far beyond primary accident prevention. With an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS), all risks that can result in work-related injuries or occupational disability are taken into account.
In order to minimize operational risks for employees, the new international standard ISO 45001:2018 formulates requirements for comprehensive, modern occupational health and safety.
Our experts can certify your occupational health and safety management system according to ISO 45001 and consider all aspects of occupational safety - both those related to operational processes as well as those arising from work-related stress that can trigger mental illness.
With many years of experience and extensive know-how, we are your ideal partner. In addition to OHSMS certification according to ISO 45001, we also offer appropriate certification for the conversion from OHSAS 18001 to the new OHS management standard.
The first international standard for modern occupational health and safety - ISO 45001
The ISO 45001 standard, which has been in force since March 2018, is the only international and independent standard that defines requirements for operational health and safety management systems.
The standard focuses on preventing unsafe behaviors that can lead to accidents at work. It also focuses on reducing accidental downtime in the supply chain and in supplier management. Another important aspect of ISO 45001 is the inclusion of standardized health and safety requirements for managers, employees, and service providers taking into account their respective working environments and conditions.
ISO 45001 Certification Process
- Information and pre-audit (optional)
Informational meeting (by phone or in person), project meeting on site, and prepare for certification, including document review - On-site certification
Readiness assessment with analysis and review of the management system description and review of documented processes - Audit report and review
Documentation of the audit and management system findings - Certificate and seal issuance
After successfully completing the certification process, you receive your certificate and the DEKRA Seal (valid for up to three years) - First surveillance audit
At least every 12 months after certification, a surveillance audit of the implementation of corrective actions takes place - Second surveillance audit
Repeated auditing of the implementation of the management system - Recertification
Three years after the initial certification, steps 2 through 6 are repeated in the recertification audit
Advantages of ISO 45001 certification
Safe and healthy workplaces are key to successful companies. Thanks to ISO 45001, a complete management requirement specification is available to ensure improvements in the health and safety of your employees. As a certified company, your customers, suppliers, and the labor market can be certain that you reliably manage the risks and opportunities related to occupational health and safety.
If you are already certified to OHSAS 18001, you can gradually close the gaps and differences in your ASM system and convert to the new standard. The new standard can be used in all types of organizations.
