ISO 45001

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems, published in 2018. It replaced the former OHSAS 18001 and, like other ISO management system standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001), follows the high-level structure with the PDCA cycle: plan, do, check, act.

Core requirements of the standard

• Context of the organisation and identification of interested parties
• Leadership and commitment from top management, plus worker participation
• Planning: identifying hazards, risks and opportunities
• Support: resources, competence, awareness, communication, documented information
• Operation: operational planning and control, emergency preparedness
• Performance evaluation: monitoring, internal audits, management review
• Improvement: incident investigation, nonconformities, corrective action, continual improvement

How tutelaris supports audit readiness

A certifiable safety management system depends on complete documentation and traceable processes. tutelaris covers central building blocks digitally:

• Hazard identification: Near misses and hazard reports are recorded in a structured way and classified by risk level automatically.
• Corrective and preventive measures: Measures arising from reports can be assigned to owners, given deadlines and tracked through to implementation.
• Evidence: Every report, measure and first-aid entry is documented audit-proof, with a timestamp and a history.
• Management review: Analyses and trends, such as clusters by area or weekday, support the annual management review.

Important note

tutelaris is software that supports your safety management system. Certification to ISO 45001 itself is carried out by an accredited certification body on the basis of your entire management system and cannot be replaced by any single piece of software.
