ISO 45001 Certification Toronto

Step 1: OH&S Gap Assessment Using structured gap analysis checklist customized for your business sector, our ISO 45001 consultant in Metro Toronto will determine what is acceptable and what needs to be developed/revised between ISO 45001:2018 requirements and current occupational health and safety practices.

Step 2: OHS Manual/Scope/Policy Write an OHS Manual (optional) that customizes the requirements of ISO 45001 Standard requirements for your organization’s scope of OHSMS and aligns with your organization’s strategic plan. In addition, draft an OHSMS policy that fulfills requirements of ISO 45001 Standard.

Step 3: OHS Hazards/Risks Keeping in mind all physical, chemical, biological, ergonomical, psychological, and psycho-social OHS hazard categories, our ISO 45001 consultants in Metro Toronto will facilitate the identification of OHS hazards/risks based upon functional activities/products/services using an appropriate risk assessment criterion provided in ISO 45001 Standard, leading to OHS Risk Register. In addition, identify legal and other requirements applicable to your organization’s activities/products/services, termed as OHS Legal Register.

Step 4: OHS System Procedure/Operating Procedures/Work Instructions/Tools/ Controls Based on OHS Risk Register and OHS risk threshold determined by your organization, determine how many System Procedures/Operating Procedures/Work Instructions/Tools are required for an effective and efficient OHSMS, leading to OHSMS on paper.

Step 5: Implementation and Training Provide employee and management OHSMS training using appropriate OHS content and delivery options, followed by a quiz. With the aid of questionnaires for management and employees, roll out OHSMS and assist the management and employees in creating adequate evidence of implementation.

Step 6: Internal Audit To determine the effectiveness of implementation, our competent and certified auditors assess the OHSMS using a process approach and risk-based audit process, leading to determination of conformities and nonconformities. The nonconformities are resolved using root cause analysis and corrective action process.

Step 7: Management Review Management Review is conducted to determine suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the OHSMS using a customized comprehensive checklist based on the management review inputs required by ISO 45001 Standard.

Step 8: Certification Audit The third-party registrar performs Stage 1 audit to determine effectiveness of OHSMS documentation and readiness for Stage 2. We at JSA Inc. are there for you in guiding the resolutions for any gaps identified by the registrar. Stage 2 audit is then conducted to determine how effective is the implementation of the OHSMS. We again stand by you for resolving any nonconformances, leading to issuance of certification.

Step 9: Post-certification Support Even after your certification of OHSMS, we will continue to coach, guide and help maintain your OHSMS with our professionals by conducting surveillance audits, implementing continuous improvement strategies, updating risk assessments, monitoring OHSMS KPIs, and actively engage stakeholders.
