ISO 45001 — Occupational Health & Safety
A management system for reducing workplace injury and ill health, built around hazard identification, worker participation, and management accountability.
What the engagement covers
Hazard identification & risk assessment
A site-specific hazard register covering routine and non-routine activities, with risk controls prioritised using the hierarchy of controls rather than PPE-first thinking.
Worker participation mechanisms
Structured channels for workers to raise hazards and participate in safety decisions — a core, and frequently under-implemented, requirement of the standard.
Emergency preparedness
Emergency response procedures matched to your actual site risks, with drills scheduled and documented so they hold up as audit evidence.
Incident investigation process
A consistent method for investigating incidents and near-misses, distinguishing root cause from immediate cause, feeding corrective actions back into the risk register.
ISO 45001 — frequently asked
How does ISO 45001 differ from local labour safety regulations?
Azerbaijani occupational safety regulations set legal minimums; ISO 45001 adds a management-system layer — systematic risk assessment, worker participation, and continual improvement — on top of compliance.
Do subcontractors need to be covered?
The standard requires you to manage risks arising from contracted work on your sites, so subcontractor control procedures are typically part of the scope even if subcontractors aren't separately certified.
What happens after a workplace incident during certification?
We help you run the investigation properly and document the corrective action — handled well, this can strengthen your audit evidence rather than jeopardise certification.
