ISO 45001 — Occupational Health &
Safety

Certification of occupational health and safety management systems against ISO 45001:2018 — the standard that treats worker safety as a system, not a poster.

What it is

What does ISO 45001 cover?

It turns safety at work from one person’s vigilance into a system.

Hazard identification, risk assessment, training records, incident investigation and emergency preparedness all have to work as a single mechanism. In construction, energy and industrial contracting, clients routinely make it a condition of mobilising to site. The old OHSAS 18001 is no longer accepted.

Who it's for

Built for teams
like yours.

  • Construction, energy, and industrial contractors
  • Companies that must migrate an old OHSAS 18001 certificate
  • Bidders in tenders with HSE prequalification
  • Employers reducing incident rates and liability exposure

If one of these is you, it is worth a conversation.

Why us

3 reasons to choose us.

Clients check this certificate before they let a contractor onto the site, which is why we check on the site.

  • The audit tests the documented system at the workplace.

    Hazard assessment, training records, incident investigation and emergency preparedness are observed where the work happens. A system that is perfect on paper and invisible on site is written up as a nonconformity.

  • We handle the migration from OHSAS 18001 in one process.

    OHSAS 18001 has been formally withdrawn and is no longer accepted anywhere. We check your existing system against the ISO 45001 requirements and hand you the difference as a list — you are not starting from zero.

  • HSE prequalification checks the certificate and the body behind it.

    Our attestation under AZS ISO/IEC 17021-1:2021 is AZ 03.0031.01.26, and the certificate itself is confirmed online from the public verification page. Both of the client’s questions already have an answer.

Questions

Asked &
answered.

Three years, subject to annual surveillance audits that confirm the system is still operating. In year three a recertification audit renews the cycle.

Yes — General Group Co. is accredited by the Azerbaijan Accreditation Centre under AZS ISO/IEC 17021-1:2021 (attestation AZ 03.0031.01.26), so the certificates we issue are independently recognised, not self-declared.

Anyone can. Every certificate we issue can be checked online through our public verification page at any time — no account, no request, no waiting.

No — impartiality rules prohibit a certification body from certifying a system it built. We can certify a system prepared in-house or with an independent consultant; our procedures explain exactly what the audit will examine.

Yes. OHSAS 18001 has been formally withdrawn and is no longer accepted. We align the existing system with ISO 45001 and issue a new certificate.

No. ISO 45001 is a voluntary management system certificate; a labour inspection is statutory oversight. The two run in parallel and neither replaces the other.

In those sectors it is often a condition of access to site. An uncertified contractor does not get through prequalification.
