What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 is the internationally recognized standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OH&S). It provides a structured framework that helps organizations prevent work-related injuries and ill health, eliminate hazards, reduce occupational risks and continually improve health and safety performance.
The standard promotes leadership commitment, worker consultation and participation, risk-based thinking, operational control, emergency preparedness and continual improvement to create safer and healthier workplaces.
WECERT provides independent ISO 45001 certification services for organizations seeking to demonstrate conformity, strengthen occupational health and safety management and build confidence with workers, customers, regulators and other interested parties.
