ISO 45001
ISO 45001 is the international standard for an occupational health and safety management system (OH&S), fully titled ‘Occupational health and safety management systems — Requirements with guidance for use’. It enables organisations to provide safe workplaces and prevent work-related injury. It is designed for managers in safety, quality, and operations. Control Union provides certification services for this standard, supporting organisations in demonstrating their commitment to employee wellbeing.

What is ISO 45001?
The ISO 45001 standard provides a robust framework for managing Occupational health and safety (OH&S) risks and meeting legal obligations. It allows organisations to systematically improve working conditions and demonstrate a commitment to employee safety to all stakeholders. Based on the High Level Structure (HLS), the ISO 45001 standard integrates seamlessly with other management systems, such as ISO 9001 for quality. This creates a holistic approach where quality and safety processes reinforce each other, driving overall business excellence.
