What it proves

The organization operates a certified occupational health and safety management system conforming to ISO 45001 at the sites named in the certificate scope — audited processes for identifying workplace hazards and reducing risks to workers.

What it does not prove

  • Any environmental claim whatsoever — ISO 45001 addresses worker health and safety, not environment, energy, or materials, even though it is often listed among 'sustainability certifications'.
  • That workplaces are injury-free — it certifies a risk-management process, not a safety record.
  • Fair-wage, forced-labour, or broader social-accountability claims — those are the territory of standards like SA8000, not ISO 45001.
  • Coverage of sites or suppliers outside the certificate scope.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

OHSAS 18001 was the predecessor standard, withdrawn in 2021 — certificates citing it are outdated.

Certificates run on a three-year cycle with surveillance audits; check validity and site scope.
