OHSMS Documentation | Risk Registers | CS-Led Statutory Compliance
Build a safer, legally compliant workplace with CS-driven ISO 45001 solutions for factories, warehouses, offices, construction, service, and public sector units. Lawful Journey delivers ISO 45001 certification, OHSMS documentation, and statutory registers with a legal compliance focus, ensuring your business is protected from safety risks, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions.
ISO 45001:2018 is the international standard for Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), focused on risk identification, hazard control, and legal compliance to ensure a safe, healthy workplace. In India, where statutory health and safety regulations are extensive, ISO 45001 provides a structured, globally recognized system that helps organizations prevent incidents, protect employees, and demonstrate due diligence. Our Company Secretary-led model bridges the gap between global best practices and Indian legal obligations, combining robust documentation, statutory registers, risk analysis, and ongoing support.
