About Workplace Mental Health
ISO 45003 Gap Analysis & Certification Support
Expert assessment and guidance to help your organisation achieve compliance with the world’s first global standard for psychological health and safety at work.
What is ISO 45003?
ISO 45003 is the first global standard providing practical guidance on managing psychological health and safety in the workplace. It sits within the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system framework and is applicable to organisations of all sizes and sectors.
Published in 2021, it provides a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and controlling psychosocial risks — helping organisations protect the mental wellbeing of their workforce.
Why It Matters
Regulatory Expectation
HSE increasingly references ISO 45003 in enforcement. Understanding the standard positions your organisation ahead of regulatory expectations.
Legal Duty of Care
Employers have a legal obligation to manage psychosocial risks. ISO 45003 provides the framework to demonstrate compliance.
Competitive Advantage
Certification demonstrates commitment to employee wellbeing to clients, regulators, and talent.
