The PDCA cycle:

• Act – if what you’re doing could be improved.

Summary
In this element, we have:
• Looked at the ILO-OSH 2001 OHSMS, which can be summarised as: Policy,
Organising, Planning and Implementation, Evaluation, Action for
Improvement, and Audit.
• Outlined the ISO 45001 SMS: Context of the organisation; Leadership and
worker participation; Planning; Support; Operation; Performance evaluation;
Improvement.
• Identified the OHS policy of an organisation as an important document, which
sets out what the organisation’s aims are with regard to OHS, who is
responsible for achieving those aims, and how those aims are to be achieved.
• Explained that the policy is usually presented in three parts: the General
Statement of Intent, the Organisation section, and the Arrangements section.
• Noted that OHS policies have to be reviewed in order to stay current and
relevant, and that reviews might be carried out periodically, or in response to
changes.
