ISO 45001 Certification Services — Ontario
Achieve a practical, audit-ready Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS)
Why ISO 45001 matters for construction contractors
ISO 45001 is the global standard for occupational health and safety management. For Ontario contractors, ISO 45001 demonstrates to clients, owners and regulators that your organization has a systematic, implemented approach to preventing workplace injury and ill-health — and that you continually improve. Monarch Safety Group helps construction firms like QMD design, implement and certify an OHSMS that’s tailored to your projects, crews and provincial legal obligations.

How we work — practical, predictable, transparent
We use two engagement models so you can pick the approach that suits your timeline and budget:
Ongoing Monthly Support (recommended for steady implementation)
- Predictable monthly retainer (documentation, inspections, training & advisory).
- Best when you prefer gradual rollout with continuous improvement and support.
Accelerated Project Support (recommended for tight deadlines)
- Fixed hourly model to fast-track documentation, audits and training.
- Ideal for urgent prequalification needs or compressed certification timelines.
Both models include a clear project plan, milestones and acceptance criteria so there are no surprises. We Do
COR® equivalency — we’ll take you the next step
After ISO 45001 certification, Monarch Safety Group will map your OHSMS to the IHSA COR® requirements and support COR® equivalency. ISO gives you a strong foundation — we bridge the Ontario-specific elements (JHSC requirements, WSIB/industry documentation, contractor coordination) so you can achieve COR® recognition faster and with minimal duplication.
