ISO45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management System
Market Advantage

The ISO45001 certification is a visible brand credential of your organization’s social responsibility commitment to nurturing workplace safety culture. Safety incidents or accidents can be costly, not to mention irreplaceable life and limb. Customers prefer to engage businesses with a good safety record, primarily to avoid bad press or associated with the effects of the incident. An independent certification body of your choice will assess and validate that your practices and processes meet the principles of occupational health and safety.
Is It For Me?

The ISO45001 is suitable for any size of business, regardless of industry. In a nutshell, legal requirements mandate any workplace to provide a safe working environment. While the ISO45001 certification is voluntary, meeting health and safety laws are mandatory. In addition to promoting workplace safety culture, ISO45001 also helps the organization keep health and safety regulations in check.
How Much Time?

From ground zero, it typically requires about 6 months from project kick-off to attaining certification. Why 6 months?. 3 months is for management system development work and another 3 months for implementation. Certification bodies require at least 3 months of implementation data. You can compress the time if you develop and implement concurrently. For businesses upgrading their certification to the latest standard, completion time is about 3 months or less.
You may also need to consider other time dependencies such as staff learning curve, hardware, or software (if applicable) implementation.

Technical Training Module

Is my workplace a health hazard? Is there potential for accidents to happen? These are typical questions that start the discussion of promoting a safe work culture. Being able to identify and assess workplace health and safety risks is essential in ISO45001. The learning objective is to understand and identify the types of health and safety risks present at your workplace.

Identify possible health and safety risks at your workplace.
