Get Certified in 4 Simple Steps
1. Decide Your Scope
2. Get your Management System up and Running
3. Gap Analysis/ Internal Audit
4. Certification Audit
Step 1 – Decide Your Scope
Theres really a couple of questions to at least think about if your not quite ready to answer right now.
- Which standards are you looking to get certified for – is it all 3 standards
- ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
- ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
- ISO14001 Environmental Management Systems
- What does your business do? What would you like to be included on your scope for your certificate? Are any of the clauses in the standard not applicable to your business
- Your demographics, Numbers of Staff, and locations
Once you have this information together we can help you get a quote from a certification provider.
Step 2 – Get your Management System up and running fast

Step 3 – Complete a Gap Analysis /Internal Audit
We’ll complete your first gap analysis/internal audit following the clauses of the standards.
We’ll be looking for documents – all of the templates are part of the FocusIMS system and can be added to your system or further tailor them to suit your needs. We’ll also be looking for records to show your using the system.
The audit will be completed in FocusIMS with actions added for follow up. This can be done either remotely or face to face.
Here’s where the FocusIMS modules meet the requirements of the standards:
Section | Standard | Focusims Module |
4 | Context of the Organisation | Planning & Communication |
5 | Leadership | Personnel Management |
6 | Planning | Planning & Communication |
7 | Support -Competence/Awareness -Communication -Documented Information | Personnel Management Planning & Communication System Management |
8 | Operation | Project Management |
9 | Performance Evaluation – Monitoring, Measurement – Internal Audit – Management Review | Risk Management Planning & Communication |
10 | Improvement | Risk Management Planning & Communication |
If you’re a litte unsure of some aspects of how your business works with the FocusIMS system get in touch and we can discuss a path forward.
Step 4 – Complete your Certification Audit
Certification audits are normally scheduled in 2 stages. The timeframe for when to complete your certification audit is normally based around the actions from your gap analysis internal audit – the more actions the more time you’ll need between audits. I normally try and keep them close together so we can get them done while the iron is hot.
Stage 1 – normally checks you have the framework in place such as policies and procedures.
Stage 2 – looks for records to show the policy/procedures are being followed and if not what actions are being taken to address it.
