What Is ISO 45001 Standard?
Occupational health and safety in the workplace is always a major concern for all organisations. Having an occupational health and safety management system will help you to protect your most important asset; your people. ISO 45001 standard 2018 provides a robust set of requirements designed for improving workplace safety in organisations and supply chains, with the aim of reducing workplace injury and illness. The new OH&S standard is based on a framework that requires organisations to plan and implement the processes that need to be put in place to reduce harm and prevent injury and ill health.
Benefits to your company include
- Reduced injuries and illness through proactive risk prevention and continual improvement
- Easy to integrate with other management system standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or ISO 27001
- Improve communication across the business to identify and eliminate hazards, control risks and identify opportunities for improvement
- Legal and regulatory compliance while reducing business losses
- Demonstrate responsibility by committing to healthy, safe and sustainable workplaces
- One global occupational health and safety management system standard for all businesses all sizes.
- More information is available in our ISO webinar, which you can watch HERE.

How can ISO 45001 Certification help win more Tenders?
In a variety of industries, ISO 45001 certification is now a very common demand during the PQQ (Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire) stage of the tendering process.
It can be challenging to successfully structure, format, and communicate in your tendering application document how your company controls its health and safety compliance.
Achieving ISO 45001 Certification means your business will now have a well-documented management system that has been implemented and executed. Having these policies and procedures in place now means that the majority of the responses to tendering questions will be easily accessible.
