Does ISO 45001 cover contractors on site?

Yes. ISO 45001 explicitly requires organisations to manage OH&S risks from contractors and subcontractors performing work under the organisation's control.

Can remote auditing be used for ISO 45001?

Partially. Per IAF MD 5:2023, process control and OH&S risk control cannot be audited remotely — on-site auditing remains mandatory for these elements.

What replaced OHSAS 18001?

ISO 45001:2018 fully replaces OHSAS 18001. All OHSAS 18001 certificates have expired. CAS supports transition and upgrade audits.

Why do employers in Egypt pursue ISO 45001 certification?

Employers in Egypt adopt ISO 45001:2018 to reduce workplace incidents, demonstrate due diligence to regulators and insurers, qualify for high-risk-sector tenders (construction, oil & gas, utilities), and align local OH&S systems with the international standard required by multinational customers and parent companies.

Does ISO 45001 replace local labour and OH&S law in Egypt?

No. ISO 45001 requires the organisation to identify, comply with, and continually meet all applicable Egypt OH&S legal requirements. The audit verifies the legal-compliance process — but local labour, civil-defence, and OH&S laws still apply directly and are not replaced by certification.

How does the certification process work in Egypt?

CAS follows the ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 process: application & fixed-cost proposal → Stage 1 readiness review (off-site or on-site) → Stage 2 implementation audit (on-site at your Egypt facilities) → independent technical review → certification decision → certificate issuance with QR-verifiable record on cas.com.eg/certsearch. Surveillance audits run annually for the 3-year cycle.

Is the CAS certificate recognised in Egypt?

Yes. CAS is accredited by EGAC (Egyptian Accreditation Council, CAB #012418 B) and EGAC is a signatory to the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA). Under the MLA, certificates issued by CAS are mutually recognised by accreditation bodies and customers in over 100 countries — including Egypt — as equivalent to those issued by any other IAF MLA-recognised body.

Certification Process

Application & Review

Submit your application. CAS reviews your organisation's scope, personnel, sites, and activities to prepare a detailed audit time calculation and formal commercial proposal.

Stage 1 — Document Review

On-site or remote review of your management system documentation, readiness assessment, and confirmation of Stage 2 audit scope and plan.

Stage 2 — On-site Audit

Full on-site audit of the implemented management system against the standard's requirements. Findings are reported; nonconformities must be closed before certification.

Certification Decision

CAS's independent certification committee reviews the audit findings and issues the certificate. The certificate is valid for 3 years.

Surveillance & Recertification

Annual surveillance audits (~1/3 of initial audit time) maintain certification. Recertification audit (~2/3 of initial time) is conducted before certificate expiry to renew for a further 3 years.

Audit Time: Il tempo di audit è determinato secondo IAF MD 5:2023 Tabella OH&S in base al personale effettivo e alla categoria di rischio (Alta / Media / Bassa). Le organizzazioni ad alto rischio (edilizia, oil & gas, chimica) ricevono allocazioni di tempo maggiori.

Frequently Asked Questions

ISO 45001 copre gli appaltatori in sito?

Sì. ISO 45001 richiede esplicitamente alle organizzazioni di gestire i rischi per la salute e sicurezza derivanti da appaltatori e subappaltatori che svolgono lavori sotto il controllo dell'organizzazione.

L'audit da remoto può essere utilizzato per ISO 45001?

Parzialmente. Secondo IAF MD 5:2023, il controllo dei processi e il controllo dei rischi per la salute e sicurezza non possono essere auditati da remoto — l'audit in sito resta obbligatorio per questi elementi.

Cosa ha sostituito OHSAS 18001?

ISO 45001:2018 sostituisce completamente OHSAS 18001. Tutti i certificati OHSAS 18001 sono scaduti. CAS supporta gli audit di transizione e di upgrade.
