Home › Services › ISO 45001 Certification
ISO 45001 certification is the international benchmark for an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management System. It helps organisations prevent workplace injuries and ill health, protect workers and contractors, and meet safety laws through a structured, risk-based approach. PCN Global India Corporation provides complete ISO 45001 consultancy for factories, construction sites, warehouses and service organisations across India.
ISO 45001 specifies requirements for an OH&S management system that enables an organisation to provide safe and healthy workplaces, prevent work-related injury and ill health, and proactively improve its OH&S performance. Unlike its predecessor OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001 places strong emphasis on leadership, consultation and participation of workers, and control of risks from contractors and outsourced processes.

ISO 45001 certification typically takes 6 to 12 weeks. Cost depends on the number of workers (including contractors), number of sites, the hazard category of operations and the certification body chosen. An integrated ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 + ISO 45001 programme usually delivers the best value.
An ISO 45001 certificate is valid for three years, with surveillance audits in the first and second years and a recertification audit before expiry. PCN offers ongoing support for safety audits, legal-register updates and surveillance audit readiness.

ISO 45001 certification is independent confirmation by an accredited certification body that your organisation operates an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management System meeting the ISO 45001 standard, aimed at preventing work-related injury and ill health and providing safe and healthy workplaces.
Yes. ISO 45001:2018 replaced OHSAS 18001. The migration period ended in 2021, so OHSAS 18001 certificates are no longer valid and organisations should hold ISO 45001 certification instead.
ISO 45001 is voluntary. However, it is commonly required by PSUs, oil and gas, power, infrastructure and multinational clients, and it helps organisations systematically comply with workplace-safety laws such as the Factories Act and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code.
Typically 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the size of the workforce, number of sites, the hazard profile of operations and the maturity of existing safety practices.
HIRA stands for Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment. It is the core of ISO 45001 – every routine and non-routine activity is analysed for hazards, the risk is assessed, and controls are applied using the hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and PPE).
The certificate is valid for three years, subject to annual surveillance audits, with a recertification audit before expiry.
Yes. ISO 45001 follows the same harmonised structure as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, so the three are often implemented and audited together as an Integrated Management System (IMS).
