Occupational Health & Safety Management

The ISO 45001 Standard is globally recognised to help organisations manage their Health & Safety controls. It can be applied to companies of all sizes in the private sector, but also to universities, charities, and public sector organisations. Achieving UKAS-accredited certification to ISO 45001 provides independent assurance to your existing and potential customers and other interested parties that you have suitable and sufficient Health & Safety risk management controls in place. It can also give you that vital edge over your competitors.

• A core requirement for ‘doing business’ in both public and private sectors
• Demonstrates sound occupational health and safety performance
• Better management of health and safety risks, now and in the future
• Demonstrates your health and safety commitment to stakeholders
• Enhances the confidence of your clients, stakeholders and partners
• Demonstrates an innovative and forward-thinking approach to customers and prospective employees
• Provides a framework for meeting future regulatory requirements
• Healthier and safer working environments for your organization’s employees

Siguiente consultants will review your organisation’s current Health & Safety Management processes against the requirements of the ISO 45001 Standard, and work with you to develop a plan and implement the necessary controls to achieve compliance with ISO 45001. If required, our consultants will then assist you in ultimately achieving a UKAS-accredited ISO 45001 certification.

Are you considering achieving combined certifications for ISO 45001 alongside other Standards such as ISO 9001 Quality and ISO 14001 Environment? Do you already have certification to other ISO Standards and want to integrate ISO 45001 requirements with them? Siguiente consultants specialise in this combined approach, that is, implementing Integrated Management Systems.

For organisations that need to achieve two or more ISO standards, there are significant advantages in implementing these standards in parallel rather than taking a phased approach, in particular, the internal and external incremental costs can be significantly reduced. There are also significant resource economies to be achieved with projects addressing multiple ISO standards e.g. one gap analysis, one implementation programme, less potential for duplication and more effective integration of your management systems. Maintenance of an integrated management system is also more efficient in terms of audits, management review, documentation, and continued assessment.

Whatever the nature, or size, of your business, implementing a health & safety management system is common sense as well as a legal requirement in many countries worldwide. And in these increasingly litigious times, with a registered health & safety management system you won’t just be doing the right thing, you will also be seen to be doing the right thing. Your capacity to trade profitably hinges on your ability to manage this risk effectively. Siguiente can help you to develop and implement a management system based on ISO 45001 which will demonstrate your responsibility to your employees, your clients, and other stakeholders by ensuring that your organisation does everything in its power to reduce health & safety risks. This is coupled with the benefits of a genuinely effective occupational health & safety management system that will help you reduce the amount of downtime your organisation incurs and help deliver a highly motivated, efficient and productive workforce and a healthy bottom line.
