ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management

The ISO 45001 Health & Safety Management Standard promotes a safe and healthy working environment and provides a framework to manage risks and protect your workforce.

Most organisations will already have some Health & Safety Systems in place. We can undertake a ‘gap analysis’ and review your existing systems and their compliance against the Standard and present you with a report outlining the work your organisation needs to complete in order to achieve ISO 45001.

Benefits of implementing ISO 45001 include:

• Protection for your business and employees: Understanding the relevant legislation and ensuring your organisation meets these compliance requirements will help protect employees from risk of injury or illness.
• Reduced operating costs: Operating safely also leads to a reduction in incidents and accidents. This means management time can be better utilised on continuous improvement.
• Employee engagement. Ensuring staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities also helps to reduce incident rates and encourage best practice.
• Improved business efficiencies: ISO 45001 can be integrated with existing Management Standards to improve efficiency, reduce levels of documentation and cost at external audit.

As ISO 45001 Consultants, we provide support during every aspect of the journey you will take to achieve and retain this accreditation as well as ensure you pass the external audit on an ongoing basis.  We will bring a fresh and independent view of your business and the risks it faces, offering impartial advice on how to successfully achieve the standard.

We can help you:

• Understand your organisation and your Health & Safety compliance requirements
• Undertake an on-site compliance audit to establish and report on your current level of compliance against current Health & Safety legislation
• Produce a bespoke Compliance Obligation Register for your organisation
• Address other practical steps that can improve Health & Safety
• Develop your management systems
• Train and transfer knowledge to staff so that best practice behaviours are the norm.
• Be present and guide you through the external audit and future assessment visits

We can also provide additional assessments and surveys, which include:

• Noise Assessment Surveys which support the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Surveys are conducted to various standards including BS4142 and SEPA Reference H3.
• Hand and Arm Vibration Assessments which meet the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.
• Slip Tests to assess the slip resistance of flooring.

Our practical hands-on approach means that we will always be at your side to help and advise you as the project progresses through to successful external audit. Post audit we can support on an ongoing basis to ensure continuous improvement and successful re-assessment.

We have a 100% track record of helping clients achieve ISO 45001 certification, so if you would like to discuss how implementing quality management standards can help your organisation please get in touch.
