Safety and work certification. It is undeniable that managing Health & Safety in the workplace is not only
a legal requirement; it is also the morally correct thing to do. Structuring your Health and Safety
management system around an accepted standard and achieving Health & Safety Certification not only
makes sense, it gives an organization the opportunity to prove to regulators, customers and employees
alike that health and safety is recognized for its importance.

The more globally recognized European standard OHSAS 18001:2007, we offer accredited certification to
both of these standards.

Occupational Health and Safety management system certification, OHSAS 18001, AS/NZS 4801 and ISO
45001, basically require the organisation to monitor and manage its hazards that may result in harm to its
employees.

The new ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard, ISO 45001, is set to replace the
other standards over the next few years.

An assessment and certification to the Work Safe Warranty management system standard is more user
friendly more cost effective options usually suited more to small to medium sized organizations .
