ISO 45001 Environmental Management System

ISO 45001:2018 Occupational health and safety management systems. Requirements with guidance for use, is the

most commonly adopted Occupational Health and Safety Management System Standard (MSS) in the World, implemented

by organisations who wish to actively monitor, control, and preserve the wellbeing of all staff and interested parties. One of

the more accessible standards in ISO's catalogue, it provides organisations with a framework by which to better assure

their existing and potential client base that all underlying occupational health and safety processes are and remain fit for

purpose.

​

Implementation

Traditionally presented in a three-tiered format consisting of a policy manual, procedures, forms and records, an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) can be implemented in most instances within one month. A soft consultative approach ensures minimum disruption to your operational activities, and beyond answering only a few very basic questions during the development stages, Mathew Judge Ltd can provide your organisation with a non-invasive and seamless level of service from implementation through to certification.

Certification

Certification must be conducted by a UKAS accredited CB (Certifying Body) at external audit, a process which is split into two distinct stages; Stage 1 Document Review, and Stage 2 Site Review, also known as the Certification Audit. For most SME's, a total audit duration of three days is allotted by the CB for the assessment process, although for larger companies the required assessment duration may increase. Subject to external auditor availability, regardless of an organisations' perceived readiness or complexity, most OHSMS' can be presented at external audit within one month after implementation, although UKAS themselves recommend that a management system be in-situ for at least three months prior to undergoing external assessment. Mathew Judge Ltd can provide your organisation with a personalised solution to suit your own unique business footprint, and can manage the entire process to guarantee certification, and so you can stay focussed on your own core activities with little to no interruption.

​

Maintenance

​

To maintain certification, your organisation will be subject to a recurring annual surveillance audit by the CB, primarily to assess the OHSMS' ongoing suitability against the certification requirements of ISO 45001, but also to ensure the needs of the business and all interested parties continue to be met. To this end, you will need to make sure that all occupational health and safety objectives and targets remain current against the scope of your activities, and that all underlying processes continue to function adequately and improve as an ongoing concern. Mathew Judge Ltd can help you to meet all ongoing requirements, and help carry the burden that such assessments and recurring scrutiny can present.
