ISO 45003 is the world's first international guidance standard for psychological health and safety at work, published by the International Organization for Standardization. It gives practical guidelines for identifying, assessing and managing psychosocial risks – things like excessive workload, unclear roles, poor leadership support and workplace conflict – so organisations can build genuinely healthy, safe working environments, not just physically safe ones.
ISO 45003 doesn't specify a fixed set of controls – it gives you a structured way to think through the psychosocial factors specific to your own workplace.
It's written by the same ISO technical committee as ISO 45001, to extend an existing OH&S management system to cover psychological as well as physical risk.
From remote-first teams to shift-based manufacturing, any organisation of any size and sector can use ISO 45003.
ISO 45003:2021 is a guidance document, not a certifiable management system standard like ISO 45001 or ISO 9001 – there's no IndiaAS-accredited "ISO 45003 certificate" to be audited against. What we offer instead is an independent gap analysis and hands-on implementation support against the guidance in the Standard, usually delivered alongside your ISO 45001 certification or surveillance audit, so you get a clear, evidenced picture of how well your organisation manages psychosocial risk.
Published in 2021 by ISO Technical Committee 283 – the same committee responsible for ISO 45001 – it's designed to be used together with that Standard rather than as a stand-alone management system.
Quick, transparent pricing tailored to your organization.
Mental health at work has moved from a nice-to-have to a genuine business risk. ISO 45003 gives you a recognised, structured way to manage it, rather than reacting after stress, burnout or conflict has already caused harm.
India employers already have a duty to assess risks to mental as well as physical health. ISO 45003 gives you a recognised way to do that properly.
Address the unclear roles, unmanaged workload and poor communication that drive burnout, sickness absence and turnover.
Extend your existing OH&S management system to cover psychological risk, closing a gap auditors increasingly ask about.
There's no fixed certification route to follow, so we tailor our support to where you're starting from. Most organisations follow a similar path.
We assess your current OH&S system and culture against the guidance in ISO 45003 and flag where psychosocial risk isn't yet being managed.
We help you identify your specific psychosocial hazards and build a practical, prioritised action plan to address them.
We help you fold psychosocial risk into your existing ISO 45001 monitoring and management review, so it stays live, not a one-off exercise.
Quick, transparent pricing tailored to your organization.
Because there's no fixed accredited certificate to price, the cost of ISO 45003 support depends on the scope of work involved. There's no single fixed fee – it's usually quoted as a project based on a handful of factors.

ISO 45003 groups psychosocial hazards into a small set of recurring themes. Understanding these is the starting point for any gap analysis.
Excessive demands, unrealistic deadlines or a lack of control over how work gets done.
Ambiguous responsibilities or conflicting expectations that leave people unsure what's actually required.
How supportive, consistent and fair leadership behaviour and organisational culture actually are day to day.
Poorly managed restructures, redundancies or process changes that create uncertainty and anxiety.
Conflict, bullying, harassment or a lack of peer and manager support at work.
The specific psychosocial risks of working alone, remotely, or with limited social contact.
Feedback, incident data and monitoring are used to keep improving psychological health and safety.
Here are the top benefits of using the ISO 45003 guidance:
Reduce the burnout and disengagement that drive good people to look elsewhere.
Tackle the workload, role clarity and support issues that drive stress-related sickness absence.
Show your workforce their psychological wellbeing is taken as seriously as their physical safety.
Differentiate your business in a tight labour market by genuinely investing in wellbeing, not just saying you do.
Demonstrate a genuine, evidenced commitment to psychological wellbeing that strengthens credibility with staff and clients.
Close a gap auditors increasingly probe by showing psychosocial risk is managed as part of your OH&S system, not ignored.
Committed to making psychological health and safety a practical, achievable part of your OH&S system.
