ISO Readiness · SHEQX®

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.

The problem

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.

  1. Hazard registers maintained inconsistently across sites

  2. Incidents and near misses captured on paper with no trend analysis

  3. Contractor safety compliance tracked by email with no expiry visibility

  4. Corrective actions from incidents and audits not tracked to closure

The XGRC® approach

The ISO 45001 implementation lifecycle, in one system.

  1. 01

    Define OH&S management system scope and policy

  2. 02

    Run a structured gap assessment against ISO 45001 clauses

  3. 03

    Identify hazards and complete OH&S risk assessments

  4. 04

    Implement operational controls, including contractor safety

  5. 05

    Conduct internal audit against OH&S clauses and significant risks

  6. 06

    Hold management review and track continual improvement

How it works

Built for safety professionals, visible to leadership.

  • 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
SHEQX®

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.

From manual to SHEQX®

The same OH&S system, without the paperwork.

Manual approach: Hazard registers maintained per site

SHEQX® approach: Centralised hazard and risk register

Manual approach: Incidents logged on paper

SHEQX® approach: Digital incident capture and trend analysis

Manual approach: Contractor compliance tracked by email

SHEQX® approach: Automated contractor compliance tracking

Manual approach: Actions from audits and incidents untracked

SHEQX® approach: Structured action tracking to closure

Incident Management

SHEQX® by XGRC® enables organisations to capture incidents as they happen, investigate root causes in a structured way, and track corrective actions through to verified closure — all on one connected platform.

Hazard Identification

SHEQX® by XGRC® enables organisations to systematically identify workplace hazards using structured, real-world checklists. Capture hazards in the field, assign them for assessment, and track controls through to implementation.

PAS 99 / Integrated Management System

PAS 99 is BSI's specification for integrating two or more management system standards — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000 — into one common framework instead of running each in its own silo. This checklist covers what PAS 99 integration actually requires, and XGRC® MSX® is the platform that runs the integrated system day to day.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

01What 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.

02Does 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.

03How 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.

04Which 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.

See ISO 45001 readiness as a structured, measurable process.
