The Process

Steps to getting ISO 45001 certification

With our excellent support and guidance you can rest assure that your ISO 45001 certification will be successful.

1. Initial Consultation

We help you outline your goals, focusing on what your business wants to achieve and how it defines success, particularly in relation to your client’s requirements. You and your ISO consultants will agree on reasonable outcomes and delivery dates.

2. Producing System Documentation

Next, the IMSM consultant will audit your existing procedures and help you document the new systems that will help deliver success – both existing and how you will improve these. The manual system documentation sets out how your business should operate going forward so that it can deliver ISO 45001.
You will be able to view the manual system documentation, along with most other relevant documentation, on our client portal IMSMLoop. It offers a comprehensive insight into the progress of your ISO implementation, along with copies of the relevant audit reports, certifications, and any necessary corrective actions. The portal serves as a central hub for tracking your ISO journey.

3. ISO 45001 Framework Adoption

While the manual is a vital document moving forward, it is even more important that it gets put to practical use. We work with the senior management team to ensure the framework is embedded throughout your organisation. We can also develop and deliver tailored training for staff to ensure that the understanding and implementation of ISO 45001 is watertight. This will create consistency across your organisation, transforming your business from day one so it is optimised for efficiency, continual improvement, and greater profitability.

4. Submission to External Auditor

Before you can be awarded the certification, your organisation applies to the third-party certifying body that you have selected to conduct your audit. This audit objectively determines whether your business conforms to ISO 45001, and the relevant accompanying documentation is accessible through our client portal, IMSMLoop.

ISO 45001: Frequently Asked Questions

How can IMSM help my business gain ISO 45001?
We work alongside your existing health and safety professionals to work out the most effective way to implement ISO 45001 in your business. This may include presentations to your senior team, training and support on the production of policies and manuals.
How does my business gain ISO 45001 certification?
Generally, organisations start their ISO journey with ISO 9001, as this puts in place quality management procedures that can be extended and developed to include health and safety.
What is the difference between ISO 14001 and ISO 45001?
Whilst ISO 14001 requires the implementation of an environmental management system, ISO 45001 is based on an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). Getting certified in ISO 14001 displays a commitment to the environment, while ISO 45001 shows a commitment to your employees – so why not implement both?
Who is responsible for workplace health and safety?
Occupational health and safety are the regulations and procedures intended to prevent accidents or injuries in workplaces or public environments. Employees, clients, and stakeholders are becoming more concerned about the safety of their own health or that of others at work or on-site, leading to increased workplace health and safety concerns. Employers and businesses must have health and safety policies, guidelines, and standards in place to reduce risks, understand how to evaluate them, and take appropriate action.
