WHAT IS ISO 45001?
Safer work starts with a clear system.
ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It provides a framework for identifying hazards, managing risks and improving OH&S performance, with leadership and worker participation at its core.
CEB helps translate the requirements into practical work for your organisation. We review your starting point, clarify responsibilities and support a system that reflects your activities, workplaces and people, whether you are building from scratch or strengthening existing arrangements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions, answered.
Useful answers about ISO 45001 consultancy, occupational health and safety management, and preparing for independent certification.
No. CEB provides consultancy to help you understand the requirements, implement your OH&S management system and prepare for assessment. An independent certification body carries out the audit and makes the certification decision. Consultancy support does not guarantee certification.
Yes. ISO 45001 can be used by organisations of any size or sector. The system should reflect your actual activities and health and safety risks, whether your people work in offices, on site or across several locations. We help keep implementation proportionate to your organisation.
The timeline depends on your current arrangements, the complexity of your activities, the number of locations and your team’s availability. We review your starting point before agreeing a realistic plan. Audit dates are arranged separately with your chosen certification body.
Yes. Existing risk assessments, procedures, training records and reporting arrangements can provide a useful starting point. We review what is already working, identify gaps against ISO 45001 and help connect the relevant arrangements into a coherent management system.
Yes. Shared processes such as document control, competence, internal audit and management review can be coordinated within an integrated management system. The specific health and safety requirements still need to be addressed. We can discuss an approach that fits the systems you already use.
Bring a short overview of your activities, workplaces, workforce and objectives. If available, share your current health and safety arrangements, relevant risk assessments, existing certifications and any target dates. This helps us discuss a suitable consultancy scope and practical next steps.
