ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 consultancy for UK businesses

Why ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 matter to your business

Unlike general health and safety support, ISO certification usually has a hard commercial trigger: a tender that requires it, a client or supply-chain approval gate, pressure from an insurer, a board-level risk concern, or growth into larger contracts where buyers expect a certified management system. ISO 14001 also gives you genuine environmental credibility as customers and funders increasingly ask for it.

ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management; ISO 14001:2015 is its environmental equivalent. Both share the same high-level structure (Annex SL), which is why they integrate so well. Certification is awarded by an independent, UKAS-accredited certification body after a two-stage audit — not by a consultant. My job is to build and evidence the system so that audit is a formality, not a gamble.

• Win work: meet tender, client and supply-chain requirements that demand ISO 45001 or 14001.
• Manage risk: give the board and your insurer a recognised, audited management system.
• Environmental credibility: demonstrate ISO 14001 environmental management to customers and funders.
• Due diligence: show health and safety is managed to an international standard, not ad hoc.

How I get you certification-ready — powered by the Safety Hub

Most ISO consultants hand over a folder of documents and leave. The system then rots until the next surveillance audit, and the panic starts again. I do it differently: your management system is built and lives in Featherstone Safety Hub, so the registers, audits, records and reviews ISO requires are real, current and produced as you work — not recreated each year.

That means lower cost to implement, a system your team actually uses, and surveillance audits that are calm rather than chaotic. The standards' clauses map directly onto the Hub:

• Risk & opportunity (cl.6): risk assessments and COSHH in the Hub cover hazard identification and controls.
• Environmental aspects (14001 cl.6): the environmental module holds your aspects, impacts and legal register.
• Competence (cl.7): the training matrix evidences training, certificates and renewals.
• Operation & documented info (cl.7–8): the evidence library and document management hold controlled documents.
• Improvement (cl.10): incidents, RIDDOR screening and actions drive nonconformity and corrective action.
• Audit & review (cl.9): the audit log and monthly reviews evidence internal audit and management review.

Packages and pricing

Transparent, fixed-scope pricing for UK SMEs, priced to sit just under the typical market. Prices are for consultancy and system build only — UKAS-accredited certification body audit fees (typically £2,500–£8,000+ for an SME, paid directly to the certification body) are separate, and I'll help you choose a body and prepare for both audit stages.

• ISO 45001 / 14001 Gap Assessment — £600–£1,200: review current arrangements against the standard, clause-by-clause gap report, prioritised action plan and certification roadmap. Credited against implementation if you proceed.
• ISO 45001 Implementation — £2,750–£7,500: build the full OH&S system in the Safety Hub: documents, registers, audits, management review and certification pack, with Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit support.
• ISO 14001 Implementation — £2,750–£7,500: same structure, environmental management focused — aspects, legal register, waste duty-of-care and monitoring.
• Integrated ISO 45001 + 14001 — £5,500–£12,000: one combined system, around 20% cheaper than doing both separately. Best for manufacturing, engineering, facilities, schools, estates, motorsport workshops and larger SMEs.
• Monthly ISO Maintenance — from £199/month: internal audits, legal register updates, management review support, corrective actions, training and inspection evidence, surveillance-audit prep and ongoing Safety Hub management — system included.

Who it's for

This suits UK SMEs that have hit an ISO requirement and need it handled properly without a big in-house quality team: manufacturing and engineering firms, facilities and estates teams, independent schools, motorsport and race workshops, construction and trades, and growing service businesses moving into larger contracts. If you've been sent a tender that asks for ISO 45001 or 14001, start with a free scoping call and we'll map the fastest credible route to certification.
