Health and safety are not just legal requirements—they are essential components of a responsible and successful business. Workplace injuries, illnesses, and unsafe conditions can lead to lost productivity, legal liabilities, and reputational damage. That’s why more businesses in Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are turning to Occupational Health and Safety Certification through ISO 45001.
At NQC Oman, we help organizations across the GCC implement, audit, and maintain ISO 45001-compliant systems that protect both employees and the business.
What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 is the first international standard dedicated solely to Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). It provides a structured framework that helps businesses identify risks, implement controls, and continuously improve safety protocols to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses.
This standard replaces the older OHSAS 18001 and aligns seamlessly with ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment), making it ideal for organizations aiming to establish Integrated Management Systems.
