ISO 45001 Certification Services in Dubai

Creating a safe and healthy work environment is essential for any organisation. For Health and Safety Officers, achieving ISO 45001 certification can be a game-changer.  The ISO 45001 certification is an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It provides a framework that helps organisations improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions. 

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the first international standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems. It replaces the older OHSAS 18001 standard. The goal is to prevent work-related injuries and ill health and ensure a safe and healthy workplace.

  • Risk and Opportunity Management – Identifies potential hazards and opportunities for improvement.
  • Support and Operation – Ensure resources and operational controls are in place to manage OH&S risks.
  • Performance Evaluation – Monitors and measures OH&S performance to identify areas for improvement.
  • Improvement – Focuses on continual improvement through regular reviews and updates.
