ISO 45001 Migration

Date: 13 July 2023 

What you Need to Know

Is migration mandatory?

ISO 45001 officially supersedes AS/NZS 4801. This means you must migrate your system to ISO 45001. The official transition period is 30 September 2021, with a final end date of 13 July 2023.

When can I migrate to ISO 45001?

You can migrate during your next:

• Surveillance audit
• Recertification audit
• At a special audit

You must migrate before 13 July 2023.

What happens if I do not migrate to ISO 45001?

Your certificate will become invalid. If you don’t migrate by the deadline, your business will be treated as a new applicant and will have to undergo another stage 1 and stage 2 certification audit.

What you Need to do

The steps to migrate your safety system:

1. Book your ISO 45001 audit
2. Conduct a gap analysis and identify the changes you need to implement
3. Amend your system to meet the requirements of ISO 45001
4. Introduce the changes in your organisation

Key differences between AS/NZS 4801 and ISO 45001

1. Senior management are now responsible and accountable for the safety system and the safety of employees and can no longer delegate this responsibility.
2. Additional requirements for ensuring workers participation
3. Hazard identification has been extended to include the consideration of psychological hazards, including aspects such as workload and working hours, leadership and organizational culture.
4. The safety system now includes the safety of subcontractors
5. New requirements for documented procedures for hazard management and training
6. Additional commitments that management needs to demonstrate in their Health and Safety Policy
7. Management has to consider risk and opportunities to the safety system.
