CSP practice question: Management and Audit Systems
Question of the Day for Wednesday, 14 October 2026
CSP · Program Management
Which statement about certifying a management system to ISO 45001 is correct?
Explanation
Formal ISO 45001 certification is granted by an accredited independent (third-party) certification body after audit; an organization may self-declare conformance, but that is not the same as certification. Organizations cannot issue their own certificates, OSHA does not issue ISO certificates, and certification requires ongoing surveillance audits and periodic recertification. Accredited third-party certification is the correct model. (Ref: ISO/IEC 17021-1; ISO 45001.)Practise more questions like this
