OHSMS - Occupational Health & Safety Certification, Implementation & Audit Support Across PAN India by Ikon Consultancy Services
What Is ISO 45001 Certification?
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It provides organizations with a structured framework to identify workplace hazards, assess risks, and implement preventive controls that protect employees while improving operational performance.
ISO 45001 certification demonstrates your organization’s commitment to global safety practices, leadership accountability, and employee participation. Beyond compliance, it helps reduce accidents, minimize downtime, control liabilities, and build a safer working environment.
For industries operating in Mumbai and across India—such as construction, logistics, shipping, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, manufacturing, and heavy engineering—ISO 45001 is no longer optional. It aligns workplace safety with Indian regulations including the Factories Act and labour codes, while assuring international clients and stakeholders of responsible business practices.
Scope and Application of ISO 45001:2018
Unlike traditional safety rules, ISO 45001 follows a flexible, process-based approach suitable for organizations of all sizes. It focuses on building proactive systems that:
- Identify hazards and evaluate operational risks
- Establish safety objectives and controls
- Embed prevention into everyday processes
- Ensure leadership involvement and worker consultation
- Drive continual improvement through measurable outcomes
This approach is particularly valuable for infrastructure projects, dockyards, chemical plants, engineering workshops, and pharma manufacturing units where occupational risks are high. ISO 45001 certification acts as both a compliance safeguard and a reputation builder, strengthening trust with regulators, employees, and global supply chains.
ISO 45001 Certification Requirements
To achieve ISO 45001 certification, organizations must implement a documented Occupational Health & Safety Management System aligned with the standard’s framework. The level of documentation depends on workforce size, operational complexity, and risk exposure.
An effective OHSMS is more than paperwork—it integrates safety into leadership culture and daily operations. Companies must demonstrate hazard identification, risk assessment, legal compliance, employee participation, and continual improvement to become audit-ready.
Key ISO 45001 Documentation Includes:
- Occupational Health & Safety policy and objectives
- Hazard identification and risk control measures
- Legal and statutory compliance register
- Emergency preparedness and response procedures
- Operational controls to prevent incidents
- Training records and safety performance monitoring
- Internal audit reports and management review records
Our ISO 45001 consulting services in Mumbai and across India help businesses meet both regulatory obligations and international standards while building a strong safety culture.
