Raise standards for your staff and customers with a certificate in health and safety best practice. BS OHSAS 18001 is the best benchmark for occupational health and safety management. Achieve certification and you can prioritize staff welfare, improve customer satisfaction and give your company preferred supplier status. 

How to get certified to BS OHSAS 18001

We make the certification process straightforward. After we have received your application we appoint a client manager who will guide you and your business through the following steps.

Gap analysis 

This is an optional pre-assessment service where we take a closer look at your existing occupational health and safety management system and compare it with BS OHSAS 18001 requirements. This helps identify areas that need more work before we carry out a formal assessment, saving you time and money.

Formal assessment 

This happens in two stages. First we review your organization's preparedness for assessment by checking if the necessary BS OHSAS 18001 procedures and controls have been developed. We will share the details of our findings with you so that if we find gaps, you can close them. If all the requirements are in place, we will then assess the implementation of the procedures and controls within your organization to make sure that they are working effectively as required for certification. 

Certification and beyond 

When you have passed the formal assessment you will receive a BS OHSAS 18001 certificate, which is valid for three years. Your client manager will stay in touch during this time, paying you regular visits to make sure your system doesn’t just remain compliant, but that it continually improves.
