ISO 45001 is the international standard for Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management Systems, replacing the older OHSAS 18001. It sets out a framework for identifying hazards, controlling risk, and continually improving workplace health and safety performance, with strong emphasis on worker participation and top-management accountability.
In South Africa, ISO 45001 works alongside (not instead of) your legal obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and, where relevant, the Mine Health and Safety Act. Certification demonstrates to clients, insurers, and regulators that your safety management is systematic rather than reactive.
Andreas Burger Consulting, led by an ISO 45001 Lead Auditor with a NEBOSH International Diploma, builds OH&S systems that work on the shop floor as well as on paper.
After certification: an OH&S system relies on incident management, CAPA and SOPs being followed on the shop floor. DynamicERMS, built by our technology partner Dynatek, has dedicated Safety, CAPA and Work Order modules for exactly this.
