FAQ

ISO 45001: frequently asked questions

What replaced OHSAS 18001?

ISO 45001 replaced OHSAS 18001, which has been withdrawn. ISO 45001 follows the same high-level structure as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, which makes integrated management systems easier.

How does ISO 45001 improve workplace safety?

ISO 45001 requires organizations to systematically identify workplace hazards, assess risks, implement controls, and continually monitor and improve their OH&S performance.

Who issues the ISO 45001 certificate?

Certificates are issued by an independent certification body after its own stage 1 and stage 2 audits. Certsure Certification is a consultancy: we prepare your organisation — gap analysis, documentation, training, internal audit and audit support — and coordinate with an accredited certification body. You can verify accredited certificates on IAF CertSearch.

How long is ISO 45001 certification valid?

Accredited management system certificates are normally valid for three years, with surveillance audits by the certification body at least once a year and a recertification audit before expiry.

How much does ISO 45001 certification cost?

Cost depends mainly on the number of employees and sites, the scope and complexity of your activities, how much of the system already exists, and the certification body's audit days.
