What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 is the internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It provides a structured framework that helps organisations across Bristol, the South West & UK improve workplace safety, reduce operational risks, and create healthier working environments for employees, contractors, and visitors.
An effective ISO 45001 management system helps businesses identify workplace hazards, implement preventative controls, monitor health and safety performance, and demonstrate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Achieving ISO 45001 certification also shows customers, suppliers, and stakeholders that your organisation takes occupational health and safety seriously.

Whether you are preparing for your first certification audit or improving an existing health and safety management system, ISO 45001 supports continual improvement, stronger accountability, and a safer workplace culture across your organisation.
