Cost of ISO 45001 Certification

First, there are typically three options for an organization seeking registration:

1. Create everything on your own (Documentation, training, etc.) by reading and interpreting the standard.
   • You know your business better than anyone, and you are in the best position to document your processes. But do you have the time to create hundreds of pages of documentation plus training?
2. Use documentation templates and training programs (like ours) to document your OHSMS and train your organization.
   • You still do it yourself, but you don’t do it alone. We’re here to help.
   • For a very small investment, you can train your people and create a solid occupational health and safety very efficiently, saving you months of time and frustration.
3. Hire an ISO consultant to complete the entire process with you.
   • If you are short on people and have the funds, this may be the most effective option.
   • However, this is the most expensive option ($5,000 -$50,000) as they would typically create (and charge you for) many of the documents included in our packages.
   • You will end up paying for the transfer of knowledge to the consultant so he/she may put together the OHSMS.

The 45001 Store believes you are better off creating the plan yourself rather than increasing the cost of iso certification with a consultant.  The end result will be the same for any option, ISO 45001 certification, using templates will reduce your time and overall investment. We can help you get there as we have for thousands of others.

ISO 45001 Certification Cost in 3 parts:

1. Hiring a Registrar – The registration audit is performed by a Registrar and the cost will depend on how large and how intricate your organization is. They will charge you depending on how much time they spend auditing your organization by days. There will be travel costs if the Registrar is not local and there are administrative and accreditation fees as well. Find a Registrar using our free service that allows you to receive three quotes from on top registrars all at once.
2. Internal Cost – The time your employees will need to spend building and implementing the system. Our free Quickstart Guide can help you estimate the time needed from employees throughout the project.
3. Outside help – This is either consultant fees or the purchasing of tools to help you with the project. You can save quite a bit of money if you do not use a consultant. Use our All-in-One Documentation and Training Package to cut out using a consultant and save money.
