NEW METHODOLOGY OF PDCA MODEL

ISO 45001 also adopts Annex SL’s high-level structure (HLS), creating a unified framework for all ISO management system standards. As a result, this approach delivers three key benefits, just like other ISO standards. First, it ensures consistency across different standards. Second, it perfectly aligns occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems with other ISO frameworks. Third, it harmonizes sub-clauses and terminology across all standards for Health & safety certification.

Organizations can integrate multiple systems seamlessly while reducing compliance complexity. Moreover, businesses now find it easier to implement, maintain, and audit their management systems more efficiently than before.Ultimately, this streamlined approach supports stronger safety performance and continuous improvement.

Audit Timeline and Process for ISO 45001 Certification

Global Standards will guide your organization through a clear and structured audit process to achieve ISO 45001 certification efficiently. First, we will conduct a Gap Analysis to evaluate your current Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) against ISO 45001 requirements. This analysis will highlight areas needing improvement, allowing us to create a detailed action plan with specific deadlines. Throughout this phase, our team will provide training and documentation support to ensure your policies, procedures, and records align with ISO 45001 standards.

Once your OHSMS is ready, we will schedule a Stage 1 Audit (Documentation Review). Here, our auditors will check whether all required documents meet ISO 45001 criteria. After addressing any non-conformities, we will proceed to the Stage 2 Audit (On-Site Assessment). During this stage, auditors will assess the practical implementation of your OHSMS, including legal compliance, hazard controls, worker participation, and continuous improvement processes. Our team will monitor progress closely, ensuring prompt resolution of any findings.

Finally, if your organization meets all requirements, Global Standards will recommend ISO 45001 certification to the accreditation body. Following successful certification, we will support you with surveillance audits to maintain compliance and drive ongoing improvement. By combining rigorous audits with proactive guidance, we ensure a smooth certification process, demonstrating your commitment to workplace safety and employee well-being.
