Frequently asked questions — ISO 45001

Does it replace my legal H&S obligations?+

No, it complements them. It helps you meet them systematically (safety officer, occupational doctor, risk assessment) and to prove your compliance.

Does it really reduce accidents?+

Yes. Structured hazard identification and management demonstrably reduces workplace accidents, absences and related costs.

Did it replace OHSAS 18001?+

Yes. ISO 45001 fully replaced the old OHSAS 18001. We also handle the migration from the old standard.

Does it help with insurers/tenders?+

Often. Many insurers and contracting authorities value or require it, especially in construction and industry.

How long does implementing ISO 45001 take?+

Typically 2–4 months, depending on your size, complexity and maturity. We give you a clear timeline from the start.

How much does ISO 45001 certification cost?+

The cost depends on the size of your business and the scope of the project. The initial assessment is free and you receive a transparent quote with no hidden charges. The consultant fee and the certification body fee are clearly separated.

How many years is the certificate valid?+

The certificate is valid for 3 years, with annual surveillance audits by the body. We support you throughout so you maintain compliance with no stress.

Are you the certification body?+

No — we are independent consultants. We prepare you impartially and stand by you at the audit by any accredited body of your choice.

Is it suitable for a small business?+

Absolutely. We tailor the system to be practical and lightweight, with no unnecessary bureaucracy — it works equally well for small and large companies.

Can I get ΕΣΠΑ funding for ISO 45001 certification?+

Yes. The cost of ISO certification is an eligible expense in many ΕΣΠΑ programmes for SMEs, so a significant part can be covered by a grant. We inform you of active programmes and the funding rate.
