Frequently Asked Questions

Does ISO 45001 replace OHSAS 18001?+
Yes, ISO 45001 has replaced OHSAS 18001. We also support transitions.
How long does it take?+
3 to 6 months depending on the size and maturity of the occupational health and safety (OHS) system.
Who is the ISO 45001 certification aimed at?+
It applies to any organisation exposed to occupational risks: construction, industry, automotive and aerospace, energy and mining, transport and logistics, agri-food. It is relevant for both SMEs and large groups, provided that occupational health and safety is an operational issue or a requirement from clients. TargetUp tailors the occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) to your size and maturity level.
How does your ISO 45001 support work in practice?+
Our approach follows 6 steps over 3 to 6 months: diagnostic and gap analysis (week 1), system design with assessment of occupational risks, OHS policy and prevention plan (weeks 2 to 6), deployment and team training (weeks 6 to 12), internal audit (week 13), management review and mock audit (week 14), followed by support on the day of the certification audit (months 4 to 6). A dedicated OHS consultant leads each phase and a quote is provided within 48 hours.
Is ISO 45001 compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001?+
Yes. ISO 45001 shares the high-level structure (HLS) common to ISO standards, allowing it to be natively integrated with ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) within an Integrated QHSE Management System. This integration reduces documentation, audits, and operational burden. TargetUp directly designs your OHSMS with this integration logic to avoid duplication.
How does ISO 45001 relate to the Moroccan Labour Code?+
The SMSST ISO 45001 formalises the assessment of occupational risks and the prevention plan, in line with the obligations of the Moroccan Labour Code and the logic of the Document Unique (DUERP). It transforms a legal obligation into a structured, auditable process that is enforceable against your clients. This is a decisive advantage in calls for tenders in construction, industry, and logistics, where certification is increasingly required by clients.
Do we need to have an SST system in place before starting?+
No. The diagnosis and gap analysis in the first week accurately measure your starting point, regardless of your SST maturity level. We then build the SMSST based on your existing framework, without starting from scratch or duplicating your procedures. This approach avoids over-documentation and accelerates compliance.
What guarantees the success of the certification audit with TargetUp?+
Our Lead IRCA auditors prepare your organisation through an internal audit followed by a mock audit that simulates the real audit, allowing us to address any discrepancies before the big day. TargetUp boasts a support until certification is obtained in audits on the first attempt and contracts a commitment to success in the audit. You will be supported on the day itself in front of the accredited certifying body.
What operational benefits can be expected after ISO 45001 certification?+
Certification reduces accidents and occupational illnesses, and therefore the costs associated with downtime and claims. It enhances employee engagement and well-being, and meets a common requirement from clients, particularly in construction and industry. Finally, it serves as the foundation for an integrated QHSE system, which can subsequently be extended to quality (ISO 9001) and environmental (ISO 14001) standards.
