Frequently asked questions
How much does ISO 45001 certification cost in the USA?
Cost depends on sites, workers, shifts, hazards, contractors, existing controls, implementation effort, and certification scope.
Does ISO 45001 certification prove OSHA compliance?
No. Certification assesses the management system; employers remain responsible for applicable OSHA and other legal obligations.
Can ISO 45001 help contractor prequalification?
Yes. It can provide structured evidence of safety governance and control, subject to each buyer's qualification rules.
Can Vecta create the safety management system?
Yes. Vecta can build the system around your actual workplaces, hazards, contractors, and operating controls.
