ISO45001

If you want to achieve your ISO450001 there are certain challenges to overcome.

Many choose to instruct the help of specialist support services such as IMSM.  In doing so companies such as these will will check your policies and procedures, performing a gap analysis to ensure you could pass the standard in order to achieve ISO45001.

 

Why Companies Should Pursue ISO 45001 Certification?

ISO 45001 certification is vital for UK companies seeking to demonstrate their commitment to occupational health and safety. This internationally recognised standard helps organisations reduce workplace risks, enhance employee well-being, and ensure compliance with UK health and safety regulations, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Achieving ISO 45001 certification enables businesses to identify potential hazards and implement proactive measures, minimising accidents and reducing absenteeism. This not only boosts employee morale and engagement but also drives productivity and operational efficiency. Additionally, ISO 45001 certification helps organisations reduce potential liabilities, lower insurance premiums, and improve their reputation within the marketplace.

ISO 45001 certification provides UK companies with a competitive edge, particularly when tendering for contracts, as clients increasingly prefer safety-conscious partners. By fostering a strong safety culture, businesses can meet legal requirements, avoid penalties, and position themselves as leaders in health and safety management.

In summary, ISO 45001 certification is a valuable asset for UK companies, promoting workplace safety, ensuring legal compliance, and enhancing overall market competitiveness.

 

Gap Analysis

There are 10 sections to ISO45001.  In order to pass you need to evidence that you have robust processes, policies and procedures in place.

Companies like IMSM would visit your business, perform a gap analysis and identify what is good, bad or indifferent.

After identifying areas that need work, they will advise steps to take in order to achieve the standard.

Achieving ISO45001

After undertaking the steps, advised by companies like IMSM, your chosen accreditation provider will come to you and run through all your required policies, procedures and processes.  They will also speak to staff and team members to ensure these are ingrained as part of working practice,

If after their assessment they can believe you meet all requirements and standards, you will achieve your ISO45001 certification.  If not, the process needs to begin again.
