Hoe kunnen wij jouw bedrijf begeleiden in de weg naar een ISO 45001:2018-certificering?
As your partner throughout the entire certification process, we offer a wide range of services tailored to your specific business situation. Whether you are just starting with an Occupational Health and Safety Management System or looking for ways to improve your existing system, our team is ready to support you.
- Initial analysis
The first step toward ISO 45001:2018 certification is conducting a thorough analysis of the current situation. This includes identifying stakeholders, reviewing the applicable legal framework, mapping organizational risks, and identifying workplace health and safety aspects within your company.
We therefore carry out a comprehensive assessment of health and safety performance to identify and analyse the most important aspects, including compliance with occupational health and safety legislation. This provides a solid foundation for developing a health and safety policy and defining objectives.
- Development of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS)
Based on the initial analysis, we develop a tailored Occupational Health and Safety Management System that complies with the requirements of the ISO 45001:2018 standard.
The policy is documented in a health and safety statement and translated into concrete objectives and improvement projects. In addition, we assist in establishing procedures for monitoring, reporting, corrective actions, and internal audits. The OHSMS can also be integrated into existing management systems within your organization to ensure the most efficient implementation possible.
In this way, the system can become part of an Integrated Management System (IMS), in which different standards and management processes are managed together.
All of this results in an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System that not only improves the well-being of your employees but also ensures compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Training and awareness
A successful OHSMS depends on employee involvement. It is essential that employees understand their role, recognize the impact they have on the system, and are properly trained to follow procedures correctly.
We provide training for employees at all levels, enabling them to recognize and address health and safety issues effectively. This results in employees who understand how they can contribute to improving workplace health and safety and who are able to respond appropriately to well-being-related situations.
- Support During the Certification Audit
Once your Occupational Health and Safety Management System has been implemented, an external audit is conducted to obtain ISO 45001:2018 certification. This audit is carried out by an independent certification body.
We provide guidance during the initial audit, helping to answer any questions from the auditor. We also support the implementation of corrective actions where necessary. This ensures a certification process with minimal disruption to your business activities.
- Continuous improvement and management
Obtaining ISO 45001:2018 certification is not the end goal, but the beginning of a process of continuous improvement. We not only help you achieve certification but also support you in maintaining it.
By conducting regular internal audits, we ensure that the system continues to comply with the standard. In addition, we support the updating of your objectives and measures. We also advise on new occupational well-being legislation and technological innovations that can help your company operate more sustainably. This results in an Occupational Health and Safety Management System that not only complies with ISO 45001:2018 but is also continuously improved and adapted to changing circumstances.

By implementing a systematic Occupational Health and Safety Management System in accordance with ISO 45001:2018, an organization’s health and safety performance is mapped out, and concrete actions are established to achieve the defined objectives.
Through continuous monitoring, evaluation, and improvement, organizations are better able to comply with relevant legislation and regulations while making steady progress toward their goals. This contributes to better performance, higher employee engagement, and a stronger reputation.
- Policy: defining objectives, responsibilities, and management commitment.
- Risk Assessment and Evaluation (RA&E): systematically identifying and assessing risks.
- Planning and Control Measures: developing programs to manage risks (e.g., preventive measures and training).
- Implementation and Operation: assigning responsibilities, communication, awareness, and employee training.
- Monitoring and Measurement: tracking performance, conducting audits, and recording incidents and near misses.
- Evaluation and Improvement: management reviews and continuous improvement of policies and measures.
To achieve ISO 45001:2018 certification, an organization must first conduct an internal evaluation to identify current strengths and areas for improvement. Next, an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) must be developed in accordance with the requirements of ISO 45001:2018, including establishing a health and safety policy, defining objectives, and implementing the necessary processes to achieve them. After training employees and carrying out internal audits, an accredited certification body conducts an external audit. Upon successful completion, the certification is granted.
ISO 45001:2018 provides a framework for ensuring occupational health, safety, and employee well-being. It also supports risk management by helping organizations identify potential hazards at an early stage and take preventive action. Through continuous monitoring and improvement, the system contributes to more efficient operations and reduces the likelihood of incidents that could lead to financial losses or reputational damage.
The investment in ISO 45001:2018 certification may seem high at first glance, but in practice it is often recovered quickly. This is because the system contributes structurally to reducing workplace accidents, lowering absenteeism, and improving operational efficiency. In addition, Prevom offers highly competitive rates.
