ISO 45001 Occupational health and safety certification

ISO 45001 is designed to prevent work-related injury and ill-health and to provide safe and healthy workplaces.

As an international standard, ISO 45001 crosses geographic, political, economic, commercial and social boundaries. This sets a single benchmark for the management of occupational health and safety. So if your organization operates or trades internationally, you can work to a single standard which can simplify your business.

Whether you are currently working to BS OSHAS 18001 or country specific standards such as ANSI/ASSE Z10 2012, CAN/CSA-Z1000-14, AS/NZS 48001:2001 or others, you can upgrade to ISO 45001 now.

Or if you are new to occupational health and safety management it’s a great framework to put into your business to build organizational resilience.

For who is ISO 45001 suitable?

The standard is flexible and can be adapted to manage occupational health and safety and suits a wide range of organizations including:

• Large organizations and entreprises
• Small and medium-sized entreprises
• Public and not-for-profit organizations
• Non-government organizations (NGOs) and charities

The new ISO 45001 H&S management system standard offers organizations the following benefits:

• Increase organizational resilience through proactive risk prevention, innovation and continuous improvement
• Strengthen regulatory compliance while reducing business losses
  Show brand responsibility through commitment to safe, healthy and sustainable working
• Unity of a global management system for safe and healthy work, intended for companies of all shapes and sizes

If you're currently certified to OHSAS 18001 then you will need to migrate to ISO 45001 as OHSAS 18001 will be withdrawn. We have the expertise and knowledge to help you to upgrade your certification and get the most from ISO 45001. 

Organizations that are committed to sustainability are increasingly aligning their corporate strategies to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Accredited certification of ISO 45001, the international occupational health and safety management system, demonstrates an organization’s commitment to ensuring decent work conditions, health, wellbeing and equality practices.

For organizations seeking to enhance their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) profile, implementation of ISO 45001 and its alignment to the SDGs sends a powerful message to shareholders and stakeholders including employees, that they truly care for their people.

The BSI Training Academy has supported organizations around the world in the area of ISO 45001 for health and safety at work. The practical training courses are modular and can also be followed in-company.

ISO 45001 is intended to replace the globally implemented standard OHSAS 18001. Organizations that are now certified against OHSAS 18001, should make the transition to ISO 45001.
