ISO 45001 certification for UK SMEs
ISO 45001 is the health and safety management standard. For contractors it turns the risk assessments and method statements you already write into a system an auditor can check.
What ISO 45001 covers
Hazard identification, risk assessment, worker consultation, legal compliance, incident investigation and continual improvement.
Who needs ISO 45001
Construction, maintenance, fire, security and alarm installers, facilities management and anyone working on client sites.
How we get you certified
Free first call. We look at what you do, which contracts you want and what you already have in place.
Gap review. We compare how you work now with the standard and list what is missing.
A system built around your business. We write the procedures, records and policies with you, based on how your team already works.
Training and internal audit. Your team learns what the auditor will ask. We run an internal audit and a management review.
Certification audit. An IAF-accredited certification body audits your system and issues the certificate.
Timescale
ISO 45001 certification typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on your size and what you already have in place. You get a dated plan after the first call.
How our fee works
One fixed fee, agreed before we start, including the certification body's audit fee. Ask for a quote.
Who certifies you
Certification is issued by Assurance Quality Certification LLC (AQC World), a certification body accredited by UAF and EGAC. Both are members of the IAF, so your certificate is IAF-accredited.
Frequently asked questions
We already have RAMS and a safety policy. Does that help?
Yes. Existing risk assessments, method statements and training records usually cover a good part of ISO 45001. We build on them rather than starting again.
Are annual audits included?
No. Our fixed fee covers getting you certified. Annual surveillance audits and recertification are quoted separately. We send you each quote 3 months before the audit is due, so there are no surprises.
Is IAF-accredited certification accepted for UK tenders?
IAF-accredited certificates are recognised internationally through the IAF agreement. Some buyers name UKAS in their tender documents, so we check the wording of the tenders you are targeting before you commit.
