Catnic Achieves ISO 45001 Certification for Occupational Health & Safety

Catnic is proud to announce that we have successfully achieved ISO 45001 certification for Occupational Health & Safety, awarded by BSI this week. The certification follows a detailed and rigorous audit process carried out at the end of 2025, a strong result that reflects the commitment and professionalism of teams across the business.

Securing ISO 45001 marks a significant milestone in Catnic’s ongoing journey to strengthen our safety culture, reduce workplace risks, and ensure the wellbeing of every employee, contractor, and visitor. While achieving the standard is a major accomplishment, maintaining it requires continuous focus and involvement from all colleagues across the organisation.

What Is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is the internationally recognised standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). Developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), it provides a structured framework for organisations to proactively manage health and safety risks, prevent work‑related injuries and ill health, and create safer working environments.

The standard is built around several core principles:

🔹 Risk‑based thinking: Organisations must identify hazards, assess risks, and implement effective controls to prevent incidents before they occur.

🔹 Leadership and worker participation: ISO 45001 places strong emphasis on visible leadership commitment and active involvement from employees at all levels.

🔹 Continuous improvement: The standard requires ongoing monitoring, measurement, and review of health and safety performance to drive continual enhancement.

🔹 Integration with business strategy: Health and safety is not treated as a standalone function, it must be embedded into operational planning, decision‑making, and organisational culture.

🔹 Legal and regulatory compliance: Organisations must demonstrate that they understand and meet all applicable health and safety legislation.

By adopting ISO 45001, Catnic strengthens its ability to manage risks systematically, improve safety performance, and foster a culture where everyone plays a role in protecting themselves and others.
