What This Framework Does Not Prove

  • ISO 45001 certifies the management system, not specific safety outcomes. A certified organisation can still have incidents. It does not replace specific safety standards (NFPA, IEC) or regulatory compliance verification.

Evidence Requirements

OH&S policy, hazard register, risk assessments, safe work procedures, training records, incident reports, inspection records, emergency drills, internal audit reports, management review.
