Method and management system

What is ISO 45001 and what does it require?

It is the standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It prescribes no particular technical solution; it requires you to understand your context, determine risks and opportunities, set objectives, measure and review. Because it shares a common high-level structure with the environmental and quality standards, the three can be run together.

What it asks for

The standard requires the organisation to write down its own context (activities, interested parties, legal framework), to establish worker participation, to determine risks and opportunities, to set measurable objectives, to operate its processes, to measure performance and to review it at management level. It leaves the "how" to the organisation, which is why the same standard fits both a construction site and a software company.

Running them as one system

The safety, environmental and quality standards share the same high-level structure: context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, improvement. What is common is those top clauses; the sub-clauses and technical requirements differ. Shared documents, shared internal audits and a shared review are therefore possible — but "one procedure closed all three standards" is not.

In Optifora the management system module links clauses to records (risk, training, audit, incident), so an auditor can read from a list which record answers which clause.
