Build safer work through a system that manages risk.

ISO 45001:2018 — Occupational Health & Safety. Incident counts fall when hazards are managed before they are experienced. ISO 45001 examines whether hazard identification, worker participation and operational control are real activities with records, or a policy on a wall.

Accreditation status for this programme

Certification programme — accreditation is not claimed on this page.

Each standard page states its accreditation status exactly as it appears in the current official documents of Global Energy Up. The phrase “accredited certification” and any accreditation symbol are used only where the standard and the activity fall inside the published official scope.

Field status: a current accreditation document for this programme has not yet been received in a publishable form. The programme is therefore presented here without an accreditation claim — and the absence of evidence is not a conclusion in either direction.

Who typically applies

Three specific situations.

  • A site with contractors, shift work and a lost-time incident history it wants to change.
  • An organisation bidding for work where OH&S certification is a prequalification.
  • A group harmonising safety practice across facilities with different legacies.

What the certificate does not mean

The limit, plainly.

Certification does not mean your product conforms and does not mean your performance is excellent. It means your management system met the requirements of the standard at the assessment date, within the scope and sites shown on the certificate.

Management-system certification services are delivered by Global Energy Up. Energy Up International does not issue management-system certificates.
