Facing ISO certification delays?
Certification to ISO 45001 or ISO 14001 shows clients, regulators and tender panels that your management systems meet an internationally recognised standard. Getting there should not stall your business.
Our expert auditors guide you through a clear, structured process designed to help you pass first time, with less disruption, lower risk and practical feedback that strengthens your systems long after the audit is done.

How certification works

1
Stage one: document review
We confirm the requirements of the standard are in place and agree a date for stage two.
2
Stage two: implementation
We close out any stage one non-conformances and sample whether your system is working effectively day to day.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ISO 45001 and ISO 14001?
ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems. Many organisations certify to both.
Is ISO 45001 a legal requirement?
No. However, it gives you a robust framework for meeting your legal duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of your workforce. Failing in that duty can lead to fines or prosecution.
Who can apply for ISO certification?
Any organisation, in any sector and of any size, that wants external certification of its management system against the standard.
Can I combine ISO 45001 with a Five Star Audit?
Yes. Our combined audit gives you ISO 45001 certification and a quantified Five Star best practice assessment in one process.
