Who carries this

ISO 45001, in practice.

Occupational health and safety management systems. Requirements with guidance for use.

Manufacturing, construction, utilities and any operation where the hazard is physical and the consequence of getting it wrong is a person.

A note on the text

The clause numbers and titles above are the standard's own public structure. The standard itself is copyright of its issuing body and you buy it from them. What we add is the interpretation underneath, and that lives in your workspace.

What the service does with it

Every month, on a schedule you can check.

This is the running work for this standard specifically. The general shape is the same across all of them.

We carry
  • Keep hazard identification and risk assessment current per activity and site
  • Maintain the legal and other requirements register with compliance evaluation
  • Track consultation and participation records under clause 5.4
  • Run emergency preparedness testing and record the outcome
  • Carry incident investigations through to verified corrective action
Evidence the assessor asks for
  • Hazard identification and risk assessment records per activity
  • Consultation and worker participation records
  • Emergency preparedness drills with dates and participants
  • Incident and near-miss investigations with root cause
  • Legal compliance evaluation with the obligations examined

Each one is filed against the requirement it satisfies as the work happens, so the pack for the next visit already exists.

Walk it yourself

Name a clause in ISO 45001 and we will open it.

The requirement, the control attached to it, the evidence that satisfies it, and the audit checklist it generates. Nothing prepared in advance, because there is nothing to prepare.
