Certification pathway
Route to Sword of Honour eligibility
One process. Two outcomes.
Go beyond certification alone
ISO 45001 demonstrates that your management system meets internationally recognised requirements. Five Star goes further, providing a quantified benchmark and detailed recommendations designed to support progression towards best practice.
Best practice
Five Star Occupational Health & Safety Audit
Gain a comprehensive, consultative assessment of your health and safety management arrangements, with quantified performance and detailed recommendations to help you move beyond compliance towards best practice.
International certification
ISO 45001
Assess your occupational health and safety management system against the requirements of ISO 45001 and, where certification requirements are met, demonstrate conformity with the internationally recognised standard.
The combined audit process
One assessment built around a deeper view of performance
Your management system is evaluated against both Five Star best-practice criteria and ISO 45001 requirements, helping reduce duplicated assessment activity while delivering richer insight.
Review
We examine your occupational health and safety management system, documentation, policies and supporting evidence.
Verify
Interviews, workplace observations and operational sampling help establish whether documented arrangements are effectively implemented in practice.
Benchmark
Your arrangements are evaluated against Five Star best-practice expectations and the requirements of ISO 45001.
Certify & improve
Receive your Five Star findings and improvement priorities, alongside the ISO 45001 certification outcome where the standard's requirements have been successfully met.
