We offer six versions of our products to simplify the process for organizations that already have other management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.) in place or want to deal with more than one standard at a time.
See our ISO 45001 Product Selection Guide to learn more about which version is best for you.
Step 1. Learn
Organization’s will need to understand the standards (ISO 45001, along with ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 if you are combining them) in order to guide each organization to understand what needs to be done to meet the requirements. To help understand the ISO 45001 OH&S Management System standard

- Purchase the OH&S Risk Management Exercise

Step 3. Plan
Create a project plan to engage your organization in order to meet the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
Step 4. Educate Your Organization
All of your employees will need to be trained on OH&S 45001 management system.
- PowerPoint Presentation & Training Materials
Step 5. Design & Document
Design and document your OH&S 45001 Health and Safety Manual and Procedures. The biggest portion of the project is looking at your current processes, and redesigning them to address all of the requirements of the standard. Once you have modified or developed processes to meet the standard, you will need to control those processes. Documenting the OHSMS procedures is part of this control.
- OH&S 45001 Documentation Requirements
- ISO 45001 OH&S Management System Package. These templates will save you time and money versus creating them on your own documents. Best of all, they include FREE Support!
Step 6. Use & Improve Your OHSMS
Once your system is developed and documented, employees will follow the procedures, collect records and make improvements to the system. For approximately three months or more, your organization will run the OH&S, collecting records.
Step 7. Audit the OH&S Performance
Is your OHSMS working? You will conduct internal audits to see how your system is working and how you can improve it. You can follow the internal audit with the management review to prepare for the Registration Audit by a Registrar.
Step 8. Achieve Registration
There are three types of conformance:
- Internal efforts to create an OHSMS that meets ISO 45001
- Self-declaration of conformance
- Third party verified registration through a Registrar.
Select a registrar
To get your Registration, typically you will select a Registrar and they will come and perform your registration audit. During these audits, the Auditors will be looking at your OH&S to make sure that it meets the requirements of your system. If they find some areas that do not meet the requirements, they will document a “Nonconformance”. Your registration will be dependent on your correcting any nonconformances that are found. Regular surveillance audits will follow (at 6 or 12 months intervals) after your registration audit. Once you have become certified learn how to advertise your ISO 45001 certification.
