Employers are morally and legally obliged to implement an effective health and safety management system. Gaining ISO 45001 certification can help you eliminate hazards, identify and minimise risks, as well as prevent injury.
ISO 45001 health and safety certification helps organisations ensure that their occupational health and safety management system meets top international standards.
Implementing ISO 45001 creates safer work conditions that pays off in terms of improved employee wellbeing and savings on downtime. It aids regulatory compliance, helps businesses win contracts and reduces the risk of costly accident-related litigation.
In New Zealand, the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015 requires businesses and organisations to provide a safe and healthy workplace for employees and visitors. ISO 45001 certification provides independent assurance that your processes meet its requirements and obligations.
ISO 45001 integrates with other recognised management system standards such as ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 55001 (asset management).
Telarc’s expert team will make the experience of attaining ISO 45001 health and safety management compliance and certification easy.

How to achieve certification
Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.
The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.
Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
