ISO 45001 Certification

Protect your people and prove it. Get ISO 45001 certified with Company Certification International — an accredited certification body since 1997 — and manage the whole journey with ISOXPERT Compliance360.

Overview

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the international standard for an Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) management system. It provides a framework to identify hazards, control risks and prevent work-related injury and ill health — with strong emphasis on worker participation and leadership.

Certification means an independent, accredited body has audited your OH&S system and confirmed it meets the standard. The certificate is recognised globally, is frequently required on tenders and by clients, and replaces the former OHSAS 18001 standard.

Beyond compliance, a certified safety system reduces incidents, downtime and insurance risk — and demonstrates genuine care for your workforce.

Who needs it

Is ISO 45001 right for your organisation?

If people work on your sites, ISO 45001 turns your safety commitment into a recognised certificate.

Construction & contracting

Certification is often a prerequisite to win projects and demonstrate safe systems of work to principal contractors.

Manufacturing & industry

Control machinery, chemical and process hazards to a recognised standard and reduce lost-time incidents.

Logistics & services

Protect drivers, warehouse and field teams — and satisfy client and insurer expectations on safety.

The path to certification

How ISO 45001 certification works

1 · Scope & gap analysis

Define your OH&S scope and hazard profile, then compare against ISO 45001. Compliance360 generates a clause-mapped gap report.

2 · Build the system

Create your OH&S policy, hazard/risk registers, legal register and controls. AI drafts audit-ready documentation fast.

3 · Internal audit & review

Run an internal audit and management review to confirm the system works and close any gaps before assessment.

4 · Stage 1 audit

CCI reviews your documentation and readiness, confirming your OH&S system is designed correctly and ready for assessment.

5 · Stage 2 audit

A CCI auditor assesses your system in operation and, on success, recommends your organisation for ISO 45001 certification.

6 · Certificate & surveillance

Receive your 3-year certificate, then maintain it with annual surveillance audits — tracked and reminded inside the platform.
