ISO 45001 certified
Once you have an ISO 45001 management system in place, certification is fairly straightforward. The International Standards Organization (ISO) doesn’t actually offer certification, so if you want to get certified, you’ll have to go through an accredited third- party. Here are the basic steps in getting certified to ISO 45001:
- Develop and implement an ISO 45001 management system
- Schedule an audit with an accredited third-party
- An auditor will review your processes and implementation to ensure you are compliant
- If needed, fix any compliance issues identified in the audit
- Once you meet all the requirements, you’ll receive an ISO 45001 certificate
