Accreditation

1. Are SafetyDocs Work Health and Safety Management System accredited?

While our SafetyDocs Work Health and Safety Management System is not directly accredited, it plays a crucial role in helping organisations achieve accreditation. Our management system manuals are expertly designed to guide and support your journey towards meeting ISO standards.

Purchasing a manual is the first step; integrating these principles into your daily business operations is the key to success. When effectively implemented, these practices pave the way for a third-party organisation to assess and confirm your compliance with ISO standards. This process positions you for potential accreditation and enhances your overall safety and operational excellence.

2. How do I gain accreditation for my Workplace Health and Safety Management System?

The first step is to purchase one of our systems and implement it into your business processes using the supplied relevant policies, procedures and associated forms.

To be accredited to ISO standards, such as ISO 45001 (Occupational health and safety management systems), your management system must be assessed and certified by a third-party accredited certification body.

This process typically involves an assessment of the system's content and its alignment with the requirements of the relevant ISO standard, as well as an assessment of your implementation and use of the system in your business. If the system is found to be in compliance with the standard, it can be granted accreditation, and you can then use the system to demonstrate commitment to meeting the standard's requirements.

HOT TIP!

When seeking accreditation, organise the auditing company to supply you with a pre-audit checklist so that you can ensure you meet the audit criteria prior to their visit.
