Free ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems templates and checklists, ready to download and adapt.
ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It provides a framework to prevent work related injury and ill health, improve worker wellbeing and meet legal duties, and it applies to any organisation that wants safer workplaces regardless of industry or size.
A strong safety management system relies on hazard identification, the hierarchy of controls, worker participation and clear records. Starting from proven documents helps you get these elements right the first time.
These free ISO 45001 templates and checklists give your team a practical head start. Use the gap analysis to benchmark against the standard, apply the internal audit checklist to verify your controls, and tailor the health and safety policy templates and hazard and risk registers to your workplace. Each one supports you to implement and audit a safety system that protects your people.
Keep your ISO 45001:2018 compliance obligations in one auditable register. Source, requirement, how you comply, evidence and last checked date for each obligation.
Walk into your ISO 45001:2018 Stage 1 audit ready, not hoping. A readiness checklist covering documentation, operation and evidence the auditor will look for.
Turn ISO 45001:2018 Clause 6.2 into measurable objectives you actually track. Indicator, target, plan and status for each objective across the period.
Get Clause 4 right and the rest of ISO 45001:2018 follows. Capture your internal and external issues and your interested parties and their needs in one structured template.
Identify hazards, assess the risks, document your controls, and assign actions — all in one structured register. Designed for ISO 45001 implementation, it walks you through each work area systematically and includes the hierarchy of controls so you are applying controls in the right priority order.
Use this to find out how your OH&S management practices measure up against ISO 45001:2018 before you go for certification. Covers everything from worker participation and hazard identification through to corrective action and continual improvement.
Audit your OH&S management system against every ISO 45001:2018 requirement. Covers worker participation, hazard identification, hierarchy of controls, incident investigation, and continual improvement — so you capture everything that matters and nothing slips through.
Give your OH&S management system the policy foundation it needs. This template covers all required commitments — including worker consultation, the right to refuse unsafe work, and eliminating hazards using the hierarchy of controls. Customise it to your organisation, get it signed, and communicate it.
