Clear Protect is now ISO 45001 certified — what it means for clients

Clear Protect is now certified to ISO 45001:2018, the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems.

For clients, this isn’t about a badge for the wall. It’s about having confidence that the way work is planned and delivered — especially on complex sites — is backed by a formal, audited system.

What is ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 is a globally recognised framework for managing health and safety risks. It focuses on having consistent processes in place to identify hazards, reduce risk, and continuously improve safety performance.

In practical terms, it supports safer delivery on sites where access, people, and operational constraints make “winging it” unacceptable.

Why this matters for cleaning and hygiene work

A lot of Clear Protect’s work happens in environments where:

• access is difficult (heights, confined spaces, overhead structures)

• operations are live (people on-site, production schedules, public areas)

• standards are measurable (audit pressure, hygiene control, documentation expectations)

In these environments, outcomes depend on systems — not just effort. ISO 45001 helps ensure safety planning, controls, and documentation are consistent.

What it means for clients

More confidence on complex sites

When you’re dealing with high-access work, industrial environments, or hygiene-critical areas, you want to know the contractor has a structured approach to safety — not ad-hoc decision-making.

Better consistency and documentation

A formal management system supports clearer processes and more consistent delivery — which helps when your site has inductions, access rules, permits, or compliance expectations.

Ongoing improvement

ISO 45001 is built around continual improvement. That means the system is designed to be reviewed, tested, and strengthened over time — not set-and-forget.

What the certification covers

Clear Protect’s ISO 45001 certification scope covers the provision of industrial, commercial and residential cleaning/hygiene services, along with the sale of related cleaning products.

Where this shows up in day-to-day work

You’ll most notice it in the jobs where planning and risk control matter most, such as:

• industrial and food environments

• high-access and height safety cleaning

• specialist cleaning programmes that require site coordination

• hygiene-critical work where method, verification, and reporting matter

A practical next step

If you’re reviewing contractors (or refreshing your supplier list), ISO 45001 certification is one of the clearest signals that safety systems are taken seriously — especially when the work involves heights, complex access, or live operational sites.
