A journey that began in 2009…
Makers Construction was initially accredited with OHSAS 18001 back in 2009; 16 years ago, demonstrating early leadership in formalising its occupational health and safety management systems. Transitioning in 2018 to the now ISO 45001.
Today, certification of ISO 45001 is more than a badge of compliance, it’s at the heart of what we do and it reflects how the business operates every single day.
Maintaining high-level industry certifications such as ISO standards demonstrates an ongoing commitment to safety, quality, and continual improvement across all projects.
This internationally recognised occupational health and safety management standard underlines Makers Construction’s structured approach to risk management, workforce wellbeing, and operational control.
Strong Leadership and Clear Processes
Senior leadership plays a vital role in maintaining standards. Clear policies, regular reviews, and structured internal audits ensure systems remain effective and aligned with current regulations and best practice.
By investing in, ongoing staff training, toolbox talks and safety briefings, performance monitoring and supply chain engagement Makers Construction ensures that standards are not only maintained but continuously improved.
“I am incredibly proud of the consistent commitment our team shows every day, not just during audits, but on every site, on every project. ISO 45001 is about far more than compliance; it’s about creating a culture where safety is embedded into how we plan, communicate, and deliver our work.
This certification reflects the proactive approach our workforce takes to risk management, reporting, training, and continuous improvement. From senior leadership to site operatives, everyone plays a vital role in protecting themselves, their colleagues, and our clients.
Maintaining this standard requires diligence, transparency, and teamwork — and that is exactly what our people demonstrate. Achieving ISO 45001 reinforces our commitment to providing a safe, healthy working environment and delivering projects to the highest possible standard.” Sean Allsop HSQE Manager.
