Hi All,

Does anyone have any good recommendations for ISO 45001 Auditing Companies. Looking value, but good quality of audit documents, feedback etc

Hi

Would recommend BSI - I've used them for 14001 and 45001.

Just make sure they are UKAS accredited, lots of cowboys out there where the paper is worth more than whats printed on it. LRQA, BSI etc

You can pay the big bucks and use BSI, Lloyds, SGS, DNV, ISOQAR, Bureau Veritas etc but personally its all about the auditor. Make sure that the certification body you use is UKAS accredited and has the correct EAC code for your industry. Ask for references for similar organisations the have certified to yourself. They all should follow the IAF mandatory guide for audit day justification but some over egg the pudding. 

Some of the smaller CB's are great value for money such as Approachable Certification who's original owners sold ISOQAR to Alcumus.

Thank you all, I have used some of those companies before but haven't been through the process in a few years.

Have found out that the company who have been auditing the company previously to me starting are not UKAS Accreditded. Kind of a tick box exercise really.

I have used ESG previously (while ago).

Echoning others above me, but I've also found that it's down to the particular auditor.

Our last 2 visits for 14001 and 45001 has been incredibly valuable as the auditor really dug into things. The auditor previous to this (same company)essentially treated the the audit as a 2 day coffee break with minimal findings.

You could give Julie Rowe at Keystone Risk Management Ltd a ring. have a look at there website for contact details.  She is very well qualified and has had a huge amount of experience across 45001, 14001 and 9001.
