Certification from a globally recognised brand like SQNet gives customers, employees, and stakeholders added confidence that a safe working environment and the health and wellbeing of staff are an organisational priority and provides a robust framework to support:

A healthy, safe workforce
ISO 45001 aims to reduce work-related incidents by creating a health and safety culture where employees are encouraged to take an active role. This - underpinned by strong leadership - can help to reduce staff turnover, increase morale, and improve staff retention - as well as making the work environment both safer and healthier.
Improved productivity
Understanding risk profiles through a systematic process designed to keep the workforce healthy and safe can reduce absenteeism and staff turnover, leading to increased productivity.
Compliance and operational excellence
ISO 45001 provides a clear framework to manage regulatory and legal obligations, giving customers and stakeholders added confidence in an organisation, improving brand reputation and providing a competitive advantage when bidding for contracts.
By following the best practice principles found in ISO 45001, certification can improve your approach to risk management, provide a clear understanding of the internal and external context of your organisation and make a valuable contribution to overall business effectiveness and performance.
Easy integration
ISO 45001 follows the Annex SL framework, the high-level structure for modern ISO Standards. The Annex SL structure ensures consistency and compatibility between the different management system standards and allows for a straightforward and harmonised implementation of multiple standards (integrated management systems). ISO 45001 easily integrates with all new and revised ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and ISO 27001.

The path that your organisation takes to achieve ISO 45001 certification often depends on your business's size, maturity, and existing approach to managing risk, amongst other factors. But the standard process to becoming ISO 45001 certified includes three main steps.
Stage 1 Audit - document review and planning: Your auditor will review the design and documentation of your management system - in most cases, this is carried out remotely.
Stage 2 Audit - evaluating your implementation: Your auditor will evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of your existing OHSMS in line with the requirements of ISO 45001. If there are no non-conformities, you'll receive your certification. This stage can be carried out remotely or on-site.
Promote your ISO 45001 certification: Your certification demonstrates a commitment to internationally recognised best practices and continual improvement - helping you win new business and meet stakeholder demands.

If your organisation uses more than one management system, such as Quality (ISO 9001), or Environmental (ISO 14001), SQNet can provide a coordinated assessment and surveillance programme to minimise administration and business disruption.

Using secure remote technology, we deliver the same high-quality audit services that have previously only been available as an on-site audit. Our ISO 45001 services blend remote and on-site audits to provide unrivalled insight and expertise and a fast and flexible way to maintain your audit schedule whilst reducing the carbon footprint associated with travel and minimising health and safety risks when working in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. Outcomes are consistent with on-site audits, so the integrity of your audit and accredited certification remains exactly the same.

Certification costs will depend on the size and complexity of your organisation and the maturity of its existing management system.
