ISO 45001 certification in New York at a glance
Safety in a dense city is mostly about what happens in cramped, busy places. In New York that means forklifts in cold stores at Hunts Point, trucks and loaders around the port, and shared industrial campuses such as the Brooklyn Navy Yard where one tenant's hazard becomes another's. General contractors and landlords prequalify subcontractors on safety, and a recognised management system helps a company pass. ISO 45001 builds one around worker consultation, hazard identification, operational control, incident investigation and continual improvement. Sterling's New York office builds it with supervisors and managers, trains staff through Sterling Academy and prepares the site for an accredited certification body's audit. The legal duties under OSHA are set out on the United States page. Local questions follow.

ISO 45001 in New York: questions clients ask
Why do New York contractors need ISO 45001?
General contractors, landlords and shippers prequalify subcontractors on safety, asking for injury rates and management systems. An ISO 45001 certificate gives a trucking, warehouse or trades firm a recognised answer, although clients may still ask for site-specific records as well.
How does ISO 45001 differ from complying with OSHA?
OSHA sets legal duties; ISO 45001 is a voluntary management system that helps a firm meet them and improve, with worker participation, risk assessment and objectives. Holding the certificate does not replace legal compliance. The federal and state duties are described on the United States page.
