Independent proof of competence in occupational health and safety on the basis of ISO 45001.
Overview
What is it about?
Personnel certification in occupational safety proves that a specialist confidently masters the requirements of a management system for occupational health and safety per ISO 45001. What is assessed is the systematic identification of hazards, the assessment of risks, and the derivation of effective protective measures and the review of their effectiveness.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the certification replace the appointment of an occupational safety specialist?
No. Legally required appointments and training remain unaffected. Personnel certification complements these with an independent, comparable proof of competence.
Which standard underlies the assessment?
The decisive basis is the requirements of ISO 45001 for management systems for occupational health and safety.
Do I have to renew the certification?
Certified individuals receive an official certificate that specifies the scope and validity period. For re-certification, you must demonstrate that you still possess the required competence.
