Our ISO 45001 Training Courses
Choose from our online ISO 45001 courses, designed for everyone from frontline staff to teams responsible for implementing and improving an OHS management system.
About ISO 45001 Training
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS). It helps organisations prevent work-related injury and ill health, improve consultation and worker participation, meet compliance obligations, and continually improve performance through the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle.
Our ISO 45001 training is offered at three levels:
- Awareness: For frontline staff—quick overview of ISO 45001 and how to support the OHSMS.
- Introduction: For teams and managers—clauses explained with a case study to show ISO 45001 in practice.
- Implementation: For OHSMS owners and safety leads—step-by-step guidance to implement, maintain, and improve an ISO 45001:2018-aligned OHSMS across clauses 4–10, supported by a digital gap-check checklist.
Each course can be taken on its own—no prior ISO 45001 knowledge needed. Choose the level that matches your responsibilities.
Why This Training is Important
ISO 45001 places strong emphasis on resources, competence, awareness, communication, and documented information. Training is a practical way to build capability and support consistent implementation across the organisation.
ISO 45001 training helps organisations:
- Demonstrate competence and awareness across roles (supported by training records and other evidence)
- Support implementation and ongoing maintenance of the OHSMS
- Strengthen readiness for certification and surveillance audits (with a shared, consistent understanding)
- Embed risk-based ways of working that protect people and performance
When teams share the same understanding of ISO 45001, safety becomes routine—not a last-minute scramble before audits.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. There are no prerequisites for Awareness, Introduction, or Implementation training.
No, ISO 45001 certification requirements don’t require every employee to hold a specific “ISO 45001 training certificate.” Instead, the organisation must show people doing work that can affect OH&S performance are competent and aware of relevant OHSMS requirements; ISO 45001 explicitly links competence to appropriate education, training or experience and requires documented evidence of competence.
Each course is structured to match a different learning need:
- Awareness Training is short and focused, introducing the core concepts of ISO 45001 and how workers support the OHSMS in practice.
- Introduction to ISO 45001 explains the key clauses using a case study to show how PDCA connects to real work activities.
- Implementation Training is a multi-module course guiding learners through implementing the auditable clauses (4–10) through the PDCA approach, supported by a digital gap-check checklist.
ISO 45001 doesn’t define a fixed set of “mandatory procedures.” It requires organisations to establish effective processes and maintain documented information where necessary for the OHSMS to operate as planned.
- Awareness: quick overview for frontline staff—what ISO 45001 is and how workers support the system.
- Introduction: deeper understanding for teams/managers—clauses explained with a practical case study.
- Implementation: detailed guidance for leads—how to implement and improve an ISO 45001-aligned OHSMS, with a digital checklist to support gap-checking.
Yes. ISO 45001 was introduced to replace OHSAS 18001 as the international reference standard for workplace OHS management systems.
