# ISO 45001 readiness means a health and safety system that actually prevents harm.

SHEQX® by XGRC® gives organisations a structured way to assess ISO 45001 readiness, close OH&S management gaps, and run hazard identification, incident management and contractor safety as one connected system.

**Frameworks:** ISO 45001, OH&S, Health and Safety, Incident Management, Risk Assessment, Contractor Safety

## Disconnected OH&S data leaves real risks unmanaged.

When hazard registers, incidents, and contractor compliance are tracked separately across sites, leadership has no reliable view of OH&S exposure — and certification gaps surface only when the auditor finds them.

- Hazard registers maintained inconsistently across sites
- Incidents and near misses captured on paper with no trend analysis
- Contractor safety compliance tracked by email with no expiry visibility
- Corrective actions from incidents and audits not tracked to closure

## The ISO 45001 implementation lifecycle, in one system.

- Define OH&S management system scope and policy
- Run a structured gap assessment against ISO 45001 clauses
- Identify hazards and complete OH&S risk assessments
- Implement operational controls, including contractor safety
- Conduct internal audit against OH&S clauses and significant risks
- Hold management review and track continual improvement

## How it works

- Central hazard and risk register
- Incident and near-miss capture with root cause analysis
- Contractor and visitor safety compliance tracking
- Permit-to-work and emergency preparedness records
- Real-time dashboards for audit and management review

## On the platform

**One connected view of OH&S** — SHEQX® links hazard identification, incident management, and contractor safety compliance into a single OH&S system, so every risk and every action is visible in one place. Leadership gets a live view of safety performance without waiting for the next audit.

## The same OH&S system, without the paperwork.

| Manual approach | With XGRC® |
| --- | --- |
| Hazard registers maintained per site | Centralised hazard and risk register |
| Incidents logged on paper | Digital incident capture and trend analysis |
| Contractor compliance tracked by email | Automated contractor compliance tracking |
| Actions from audits and incidents untracked | Structured action tracking to closure |

## One platform across the full OH&S system.

- ISO 45001 gap assessment
- Hazard identification and risk assessment
- Incident management
- Contractor and visitor safety

## Frequently asked questions

### What is ISO 45001 compliance software?

ISO 45001 compliance software assesses OH&S management system readiness and runs hazard identification, incident management and contractor safety as one connected system, rather than managing each separately across sites.

### Does SHEQX® track contractor safety compliance with expiry visibility?

Yes. Contractor and visitor safety compliance is tracked with expiry visibility, so a lapsed contractor certification is flagged rather than discovered on site.

### How are corrective actions from incidents and audits tracked?

Actions from incidents, audits and inspections are tracked to closure in one register, so nothing raised during an ISO 45001 gap assessment or an incident investigation is left open indefinitely.

### Which frameworks does ISO 45001 readiness align to?

ISO 45001 readiness aligns to ISO 45001:2018, and connects to hazard identification and incident management elsewhere on the platform for a single OH&S system.
