Occupational health and safety · SPEC SHEET
ISO 45001 is for organisations that need visible control of hazards, worker participation, incident learning and leadership accountability.
SPEC 01 · WHAT IT COVERS
Task-level hazards and their controls, assessed against how work is really done.
Consultation, reporting channels and awareness that reach the people doing the risky work.
Permits to work, contractor management, emergency response and change control.
Investigation, root cause and corrective action when something goes wrong or nearly does.
Top management ownership of safety performance, resources and review.
SPEC 03 · THE ROUTE
Five controlled steps, with the certification decision separated from the audit team.
SPEC 04 · TIMELINE
End-to-end timing depends mostly on your readiness and how fast findings close. QSI gives a dated plan at application review instead of promising a certificate by a date no audit has earned yet.
Scope, sites, shifts and man-days confirmed before anything is quoted.
Documentation and readiness review. Gaps are reported before Stage 2 is planned.
The certification audit, on your floor, against the running system.
Correction and corrective action evidence within agreed timescales.
Independent review of the file, then the certification decision and certificate.
Annual follow-up audits in years 2 and 3, then recertification before expiry.
SPEC 05 · WHAT IT PROVES
SPEC 06 · MAN-DAY TRANSPARENCY
Man-days depend on risk level, headcount, shifts, contractor exposure, sites and activity complexity. QSI reviews these inputs before planning.
SPEC 07 · FAQ
Common questions about scope, timing and the audit, answered directly.
No. The audit must test whether hazard controls operate in the workplace.
Worker participation and awareness are part of the standard, so interviews are expected.
Yes, if scope, sampling and audit planning rules support it.
Weak hazard assessment, poor incident learning, incomplete controls and unclear responsibilities are common.
