What is ISO 45001?

It provides a comprehensive framework for organisations to identify, assess, control and communicate workplace health and safety hazards — reducing injury and illness risk across all operations.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ISO 45001 and who needs it? +

ISO 45001 is the international Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHMS) standard. Any organisation with workplace hazards — manufacturing, construction, logistics, healthcare — benefits from certification. It's required by many multinational contracts, large corporate supply chains and government tenders.

How does ISO 45001 relate to Factory Act compliance in Tamil Nadu? +

ISO 45001 and Factory Act compliance are complementary. The Factory Act specifies legal obligations; ISO 45001 provides a management system framework to systematically identify all applicable legal requirements, implement controls, monitor compliance and continuously improve. This reduces the risk of penalties and accidents.

Can ISO 45001 be integrated with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001? +

Yes. All three standards use the High Level Structure (HLS), making integration straightforward. Jayvin has extensive experience building Integrated Management Systems (IMS) combining ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 — reducing documentation, simplifying audits and aligning operational controls.

How long does ISO 45001 certification take? +

Typically 6 to 12 months depending on organisation size, hazard complexity and current safety maturity. Jayvin's gap analysis gives you a realistic project timeline from day one.

Does ISO 45001 guarantee zero workplace incidents? +

ISO 45001 does not guarantee zero incidents, but it systematically reduces the probability and severity of workplace injuries and illnesses by identifying hazards, assessing risk, implementing effective controls and building a strong safety culture. Organizations with mature ISO 45001 systems typically show significant incident reduction.
