A practical guide to ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety certification in India — who needs it, implementation steps, Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, and how it differs from ISO 9001.

ISO 9001 manages quality — meeting customer requirements consistently. ISO 45001 manages worker safety and health — preventing injury and ill health. Both use the same high-level structure, so they integrate easily into one management system and a single combined audit.
1. Gap analysis against ISO 45001 clauses 4–10.
2. Hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA) for every activity and site.
3. Legal register — factory, labour and fire-safety obligations that apply to you.
4. Policy, objectives and procedures, with worker consultation and participation.
5. Training, emergency preparedness and incident reporting.
6. Internal audit and management review.
An accredited certification body performs a Stage 1 documentation review and a Stage 2 on-site implementation audit. After any non-conformities are closed, the certificate is issued for three years with annual surveillance audits.
We run the gap analysis, build the HIRA and documentation, train your teams and prepare you for the certification body. See our [ISO 45001 services](/services/iso45001) or [contact us](/contact).
