ISO 45001 provides a framework for organizations to proactively improve occupational health and safety performance, prevent work-related injury and illness, and achieve compliance with applicable legal requirements. It replaces the older OHSAS 18001 standard and uses the same high-level structure as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, making integration straightforward.
Logistics operators, freight forwarders, 3PL warehouses and cold-chain companies in India face increasing compliance demands from global shippers, customs authorities and enterprise clients — spanning ISO 28000 supply-chain security, ISO 9001 quality management and GDPR / DPDP Act data privacy. Our certified auditors deliver supply-chain compliance programs across India.

Frequently asked questions
Why do logistics & supply chain companies need ISO 45001?
Global shipper qualification programs and AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) licencing require documented security management systems. ISO 45001 gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does ISO 45001 take for a logistics & supply chain company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
What is ISO 28000 and do Indian logistics companies need it?
ISO 28000 specifies requirements for a security management system for the supply chain. It is particularly relevant for logistics operators seeking AEO accreditation, serving defense/aerospace clients, or working with international shippers who impose supply-chain security requirements.
Is ISO 9001 mandatory for a 3PL warehouse in India?
ISO 9001 is not legally mandatory, but many enterprise clients in pharma, automotive and FMCG sectors require ISO 9001 certification from their logistics partners as a contractual condition. Without it, 3PLs risk losing significant contracts.
What is the difference between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001?
ISO 45001:2018 replaced OHSAS 18001. It uses the same Annex SL high-level structure as ISO 9001/14001 for easier integration, places greater emphasis on worker participation and context of the organization, and is the only internationally recognized OH&S standard.
Is ISO 45001 mandatory in India?
ISO 45001 is voluntary but increasingly required in tenders — especially for manufacturing, construction, mining and government contracts. It also helps demonstrate compliance with the Factories Act 1948 and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020.
