Understand the gaps.
Prepare with confidence.
Practical ISO 45001 auditing, gap analysis and audit preparation to help you assess your health and safety management system and prioritise improvements.
How we can help
ISO 45001 provides a framework for managing occupational health and safety through leadership, worker participation, risk management and continual improvement. Read more about the standard on the official ISO 45001 website (opens in a new tab). We help you understand how your arrangements measure up and what needs attention, looking at both your documented system and how it works in practice. You receive clear findings and proportionate recommendations.
Who this is for
Organisations developing an ISO 45001 management system, reviewing an established system or preparing for an initial certification, surveillance or recertification audit. Support can cover your whole management system or selected sites, processes and requirements.
What the support can include
Gap analysis
Compare your existing arrangements against ISO 45001 requirements and identify where further work is needed. We review the agreed scope, speak with relevant people and examine available evidence, providing a prioritised assessment of gaps, strengths and next steps.
Internal auditing
Independent internal audit support to assess whether your management system meets the agreed audit criteria and is being implemented effectively. Audits can include document review, interviews, workplace observations and sampling of records, with findings linked to supporting evidence.
Audit preparation
Prepare your people, documentation and evidence for an upcoming external audit. We help check readiness, organise records, clarify responsibilities and identify unresolved actions. Preparation focuses on demonstrating how your system actually operates, rather than rehearsing answers.
Corrective action and follow-up
Understand audit findings, investigate underlying causes and develop appropriate corrective actions. We help distinguish immediate corrections from measures intended to prevent recurrence, and review evidence of implementation and effectiveness within the agreed scope.
Clear findings. Practical next steps.
Depending on your requirements, deliverables may include:
- A gap analysis against the agreed ISO 45001 requirements.
- An internal audit programme or individual audit plan.
- An evidence-based audit report.
- A prioritised action tracker with responsibilities and target dates.
- An audit-readiness review and preparation checklist.
- Guidance on corrective actions and closure evidence.
- A follow-up review of progress and effectiveness.
Your proposal sets out the agreed deliverables, timing, responsibilities and fee before work begins.
