ISO 45001 Readiness Checklist — Free Interactive Scorecard

Preview of the ISO 45001 Readiness Scorecard, showing section scores and the score-by-section chart

How ready is your safety management system for ISO 45001? Score your OH&S system against 34 plain-English statements and see where the gaps are — before an auditor does.

The parts of ISO 45001 that are hardest to evidence are the ones you can’t write up the night before: worker consultation that isn’t recorded, hazard identification that only happens after an incident, or corrective actions nobody checked actually worked.

This free scorecard walks you through eight areas of ISO 45001:2018 — from leadership and worker participation to internal audit and management review. Mark each statement Ready, Partial or Gap, and the scorecard totals it for you.

What you get

  • ✓An Excel scorecard that scores itself, section by section
  • ✓A printable PDF version
  • ✓A section-by-section view of where your Gaps cluster, so you know what to fix first

Who it’s for

HSE managers, operations leaders and business owners preparing for ISO 45001 certification, or checking whether an existing system still holds up.

A note on what it isn’t: this is a self-assessment, not an audit. An ISO 45001 certificate is issued by an independent JAS-ANZ-accredited certification body, and certification is separate from meeting your legal duties under the OHS Act 2004 (Vic) or, interstate, your state or territory’s WHS laws.
