What is ISO 45001 and Why it is Important?
ISO 45001 Standard is an international standard that defines the requirements for the prevention of ill-health and injuries by reducing the OHS hazards/risks at the workplace. Furthermore, it outlines obligations for compliance with applicable OHS legislation (i.e. BC OHS Act/Regulation). This standard promotes proactivity for dealing with workplace health and safety issues.
Workplace health and safety in BC’s dominant industries is of paramount importance for sustaining the business, as OHS is a precursor to business contract bidding. The following covers major industries within BC:
- Manufacturing (tech, food, industrial, aerospace)
- Engineering & construction services
- Biotech, life sciences & medical products
- Transportation, logistics, and marine industries
- Professional consulting and environmental services
- Select public sector/healthcare utilities

We equip individuals with ISO 45001 OHSMS certification-ready skills focusing on planning, resources, operational control, evaluation, continual improvement, and leadership commitment.

A Roadmap to Obtain Your ISO 45001 Certification in Vancouver
We offer practical and easy-to-understand steps, so you do not feel overwhelmed with the ISO 45001 Certification journey through a process approach and risk-based thinking. In addition, we ensure local relevance and regulatory alignment because our program is specifically designed for Vancouver’s safe and healthy workplaces.
Step 1: ISO 45001 Gap Analysis
Our consultants start by performing a thorough ISO 45001 gap analysis for your operations located in Vancouver, based upon ISO 45001 resources customized for your business sector. Following the gap analysis, JSA Inc. submits a detailed report of the findings supported by a step-by-step implementation with the defined responsibilities and timelines.
Step 2: ISO 45001-aligned Manual/Policy
We help develop the OHS Manual (optional but value-adding) and OHSMS policy that are aligned with your organization’s scope and strategic plan based upon our unique interpretation of ISO 45001 requirements and your industry experience.
Step 3: Determination of OHS Hazards/Risks
Our ISO 45001 consultants in Metro Vancouver will help you develop an OHS hazards/risk register by focusing on OHS hazards and risks arising from functional activities/products/services supplemented by an appropriate risk assessment. In order to cover the OHS legislation side, we facilitate the creation of your OHS Legal Register based on your organization’s activities/products/services (APS). To make your OHS risk register more unique and specific, our consultants consider all OHS hazards categories, including: physical, chemical, biological, ergonomical, psychological, and psycho-social.
Step 4: OHS System Procedure/Operating Procedures/Work Instructions/Tools/ Controls
Our consultants determine how many System Procedures/Operating Procedures/Work Instructions/Tools are required for an effective and efficient OHSMS as directed by the risk assessment, resulting in “OHSMS on paper”.
Step 5: OHMS Training & System Implementation
Following the “OHSMS on paper”, our experienced and technically inclined trainers deliver employee and management training uniquely on your steps 1 to 4 developed OHSMS. Employee and management questionnaires are used to reinforce the key messages on your OHSMS, including the necessary evidence of implementation (i.e., records).
Step 6: Internal Evaluation & Performance Monitoring
After implementation, the next step is to do a “reality check”, meaning how well your QMS is working for your business in terms of reducing OHS risks and maintaining compliance with BC OHS Act and Regulations. This is done through internal audits against the requirements of ISO 45001 Standard and applicable BC OHS Act and Regulations. The audit report covers areas of conformance/nonconformance. Our experts help you conduct root cause analysis and develop corrective actions for identified non-conformances.
Step 7: Management Review
Management Review is conducted to determine the 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: ISO 45001 External Audit Support
Audit procedures can be quite exhausting. But do not worry, we have professionals who will assist you. We provide full support for ISO 45001 external audit in Vancouver, both Stage 1 and Stage 2. We pre-brief what to expect, any technical queries, and help you find solutions to any matter even before the auditor begins the review. Our interest is to have you look at the audit with confidence and not fear.
Step 9: Certification and Ongoing System Improvement
We will also help you with the ISO 45001 continuous improvement plans even after the time you are certified, so that your OHSMS can be effective and compliant continuously. This covers audit support, performance improvement, and recertification as well as continued assessment.
