ISO 45001 Audit

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). It provides organizations with a structured framework to identify workplace hazards, manage safety risks, and improve health and safety performance.

What is an ISO 45001 Audit?

An ISO 45001 audit is a systematic evaluation of an organization’s occupational health and safety management system, procedures, and risk controls to verify alignment with the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard.

The audit evaluates whether:

workplace hazards and risks are properly identified
preventive controls are implemented and maintained
safety responsibilities are clearly defined
the organization continuously improves its safety performance

ISO 45001 audits may be conducted as internal audits, certification readiness audits, or integrated management system audits.

Types of ISO 45001 Audits

Internal ISO 45001 Audit

Internal audits help organizations verify that their occupational health and safety management system remains effective and aligned with ISO 45001 requirements.

They are also essential for supporting management review and continuous improvement.

Certification Readiness Audit

A certification readiness audit evaluates the OHS management system before a certification body audit. It helps identify potential non-conformities and strengthen the system before the certification process.

Integrated Management System Audit

Many organizations integrate ISO 45001 with other standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. Fortalis can perform combined audits that evaluate multiple management systems in a single, efficient audit process.
