ISO 45001 Gap Analysis
ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 gap analysis
A gap assessment is the smartest first step toward ISO certification: before you commit to a full implementation, you find out exactly where you stand. I review your current arrangements against ISO 45001 (or ISO 14001), produce a clause-by-clause gap report, a prioritised action plan and a certification roadmap with a realistic timeline and cost — so you go in with your eyes open.
ISO 45001 / 14001 gap assessment from £600 (typical range £600–£1,200). The fee is credited against your implementation if you proceed.
What a gap analysis tells you
A gap analysis measures your existing health and safety (or environmental) arrangements against every clause of the relevant ISO standard and shows where you already comply, where you partly comply, and where there's work to do. It's the difference between guessing at the cost and timeline of certification and knowing them.
You come away with a clear, RAG-rated picture of your position and a plan you could act on yourself or hand to me to deliver.
- Clause-by-clause review: every requirement of ISO 45001 or 14001 assessed against what you actually do.
- RAG-rated gap report: a clear red/amber/green picture of compliant, partial and missing areas.
- Prioritised action plan: the specific actions to close each gap, in priority order.
- Certification roadmap: a realistic timeline, effort and cost estimate to reach certification.
Low-risk, and credited if you proceed
The gap assessment is deliberately low-commitment. It's a fixed, modest fee, and if you decide to go ahead with implementation I credit it against that cost — so it's effectively free if you proceed, and genuinely useful even if you don't.
It also tells us both whether your timescale is realistic. If a tender deadline is tight, the gap report shows immediately whether you can make it and what to prioritise.
What happens next
Most businesses use the gap report to move straight into implementation, where I build the system in Featherstone Safety Hub and guide you to certification. Some use it as a checklist to do the work themselves. Either way you're in control, working from facts rather than a sales pitch.
- Implementation: I build and evidence the full system in the Safety Hub and support certification.
- DIY with guidance: use the action plan yourself, with the Hub as your system of record.
- Integrated route: if you need both 45001 and 14001, the roadmap covers the integrated approach.

Common questions
From £600 (typical range £600–£1,200), depending on your size and number of sites. If you proceed to implementation, the fee is credited against it.
A clause-by-clause, RAG-rated gap report, a prioritised action plan to close the gaps, and a certification roadmap with a realistic timeline and cost.
Yes — the action plan is a practical checklist you can deliver in-house, with the Safety Hub as your system of record. You're not locked into using me for implementation.
Yes. The same gap assessment is available for ISO 14001 environmental management, or for both standards if you're pursuing an integrated system.
Usually one to two days on site or remotely, with the report following shortly after.
No — certificates come from a UKAS-accredited certification body. The gap analysis is the first step toward being ready for their audit.
