What is ISO 45001?

A proven framework for safer workplaces

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems. It helps organisations of all sizes prevent work-related injuries and ill-health and create safer, healthier workplaces through a structured, risk-based approach.

Built on worker participation, hazard identification and risk reduction, ISO 45001 helps you meet your legal obligations and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of your employees and contractors. Certification by an accredited body like IOC Certification provides independent assurance that your safety system works in day-to-day practice — and it's recognised by clients, regulators and supply chains around the world.

Key principles: leadership and worker participation, hazard identification, risk-based thinking, legal compliance and continual improvement.

FAQs

ISO 45001 certification questions

For most small to medium organisations, the journey from application to certification takes around two to four months. The timeline depends on how mature your existing safety arrangements are and how quickly any audit findings are closed out. We'll give you a realistic schedule at the scoping stage.
Cost depends on your organisation's size, the number of sites and your operational risk profile. We provide a clear, fixed-scope quote up front — covering the initial audit and the three-year certification cycle — so there are no surprises.
ISO 45001 reduces work-related incidents and injuries, lowers risk and liability, and supports legal and regulatory compliance. It also builds a stronger safety culture that protects your workers and contractors and can reduce insurance costs and downtime over time.
No. Many organisations begin with informal safety practices rather than a formal system. ISO 45001 gives you a clear framework to build on, and we'll advise on exactly what documented information is required for your scope — no more, no less.
Yes. ISO 45001 integrates naturally with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 thanks to their shared structure. Certifying together through a combined audit reduces duplication, saves management time and lowers your total cost. Ask us about integrated certification.
