Who Needs ISO 45001 Certification?
ISO 45001 is suitable for organisations that need a structured approach to workplace health and safety. It can be implemented by businesses of different sizes and industries. Typical organisations include:
To manage machinery, electrical, chemical and material-handling hazards.
To address working at height, excavation, equipment and site safety risks.
To establish suitable controls for welding, cutting, machinery and maintenance activities.
To manage vehicle movement, loading, unloading and storage hazards.

ISO 45001 is also suitable for MSMEs. Its implementation should be proportionate to the organisation's workforce, activities and risk profile.

Identify applicable occupational health and safety legal requirements and maintain a process for evaluating compliance.
4. Worker Consultation and Participation
Provide appropriate opportunities for workers to participate in hazard identification, risk assessment, incident investigation and safety improvements.
5. Operational Controls
Implement suitable controls for machinery, chemicals, electrical systems, contractor activities, PPE and other significant workplace risks.
6. Emergency Preparedness
Identify potential emergencies, establish response arrangements and conduct appropriate drills to evaluate preparedness.
7. Performance Evaluation
Monitor OH&S performance through inspections, incident analysis, internal audits, management reviews and corrective actions.
