Why integrate ISO 9001 and ISO 45001?

Integrating ISO 45001 with the ISO 9001 quality management system means your business complies with international Standards for quality and Health & Safety. Blending the benefits of an occupational Health & Safety system with the core principles of quality management that offers a streamlined process with robust protection for customers and employees alike.

The ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 Standards boast a common framework, known as the Annex SL Structure, which means they share their 10 clauses.

Combining these ISOs into a single documented and managed system allows you to easily implement changes and improvements throughout your business following the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, minimising any negative impacts further down the line.

  • Plan: Owners are clearly defined; leaders take responsibility and processes are documented and well communicated. 

  • Do: Training needs are identified and met, while resources are effectively allocated during operation. 

  • Check: Regular checks are conducted to inspect the system’s effectiveness, with risks and failings identified and documented. 

  • Act: Beneficial improvements are rolled out through the single, integrated system and excellence is achieved through compliance best practice insights.    

By reducing the time it takes to manage compliance across a range of areas and employing just one IMS manager, you can take control of excellence and enhance deliverability.

You will also gain control of your compliance 24/7 through our digital management system platform, Atlas ISO. This comes with the additional benefits of built-in document controls, digital templates and automated task management.
