About This Course

Duration: 24 hours

Workplace safety isn't about filling out forms – it's about preventing harm. ISO 45001:2018 provides the framework, but the difference between a system that genuinely protects workers and one that just satisfies an auditor comes down to how it's implemented.

This online Implementer training prepares you to lead that effort. You'll learn how to interpret ISO 45001 requirements in the context of your organization's specific hazards and legal obligations, conduct hazard identification and risk assessment that captures real workplace dangers, develop OH&S documentation that supports safety rather than bureaucracy, and manage the implementation through to certification. The course includes sample documents and templates you can adapt – so you're building on proven foundations, not starting from scratch. Through a structured curriculum combining theoretical knowledge with practical resources, you will develop the competence to implement occupational health and safety management systems aligned with ISO 45001:2018.

The course is delivered entirely online and is self-paced, allowing you to progress through the material according to your own schedule. Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate documenting your training as an ISO 45001 Lead Implementer.

What Makes an Effective OH&S Implementer

An effective implementer translates standard requirements into practical, workable systems that protect workers and support certification. A competent ISO 45001 implementer must be able to:

  • Interpret ISO 45001 requirements in light of your organization's activities, workplace hazards, legal obligations, and the transition from OHSAS 18001
  • Conduct genuine hazard identification and risk assessment – go beyond the obvious to identify risks to contractors, visitors, and vulnerable workers
  • Build OH&S documentation that drives safety – policies, procedures, and records that workers actually use rather than ignore
  • Engage workers and leadership – ISO 45001 requires worker participation; learn to involve staff in hazard identification, incident investigation, and safety decision-making
  • Manage the certification journey – from gap analysis and hazard identification through documentation, internal audit, and the certification audit

This course develops these capabilities through structured lessons, practical examples, and ready-to-use templates you can adapt for your organization.

Course Content

The training is organized into eight focused sessions that build your knowledge progressively. Sessions include:

  • Video tutorials:  Expert-led video presentations for each session. Over 260 minutes (4+ hours) of video content covering all important topics.
  • Session assessments:  Each session concludes with a quiz to confirm your understanding before progressing.

Session 1:  Overview of ISO 45001:2018 OHS Management System

An introduction to the ISO 45001 standard – its purpose, scope, and how it replaced OHSAS 18001.
