Using an ISO 45001 skills matrix template can benefit your teams in various ways. Among them:
- Improved compliance and risk management. This skills matrix can help you ensure that your teams meet ISO 45001 health and safety standards, which will in turn prevent non-compliance and safety violations in potentially hazardous or risk-prone environments or industries like manufacturing and construction.

Customizing a ISO 45001 skills matrix template Copied
The scope of a skills matrix can be as large or small as you choose. For example, it could cover your entire organization – or only those focused on conducting internal compliance audits (or preparing for external audits).
To customize a skills matrix to your needs, you should:
- Define focus. Clarify if the skills matrix pertains to an entire department or specific roles within it
- Identify key skills. List essential competencies for each role or area of operation
- Establish proficiency levels. Define skill proficiency levels, aligning them with job requirements
- Set evaluation criteria. Create a clear evaluation process, considering on-the-job performance and training qualifications
- Regularly review and update. Ensure regular reviews to adapt to evolving roles, technologies, and organizational goals
Do you require a skill or certification that is not included in the above list? No problem! You can easily add additional certifications yourself to customize the skills matrix to your organization’s needs. You can also add your own employees and how they score against each certification.
