What Are The 10 Clauses Of

ISO 45001
June 9, 2022
ISO 45001:2018 is the most recent version of the international standard in the

Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Management System. Its purpose is to

help organisations of different sizes to reduce work-related injuries and

diseases.

Unlike the older version, this new standard provides many changes, including

detailed risk planning and assessment. Below is a comprehensive guide

explaining the 10 clauses of ISO 45001 to help you understand how it works.

THE 10 CLAUSES OF ISO 45001

CLAUSE 1 – SCOPE

Carries introductory information about ISO 45001 as a standard for an OHSMS

model that:

Meets the necessary regulatory requirements.

 Acknowledges that the need for an OH&S management system is dependent on

continual improvement and accomplishment of objectives.

Can be deployed to virtually any type and size of an organisation.

CLAUSE 2 & CLAUSE 3 – TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

These sections are designed as summaries and simply note that there are no

normative references. Clause 3 features a list of terms and definitions that apply

to the ISO 45001 standard.

new web address.

CLAUSE 4 – CONTEXT OF THE ORGANISATION

This section requires organisations to assess the context of their operations and

document the needs and expectations of interested parties. Usually, this is

categorised into two: external and internal issues.

External issues include your organisation’s union expectations, political and

economic conditions, as well as relevant laws and regulations. On the other

hand, internal issues include your company’s communication methodologies

and the commitment of your team to co-operate and adhere to the existing

policies.
CLAUSE 5 – LEADERSHIP

This section is designed for employees and managers alike. It demands that the

top leaders demonstrate leadership and dedication regarding the OH&S

management system. It also requires top managers to implement, monitor, and

maintain an OH&S policy that’s unique to your organisation and make sure the

administrative authorities, roles, and responsibilities are clearly understood.

CLAUSE 6 – PLANNING

This involves establishing the objectives of your health and safety management

systems and how you can attain them. The obvious reason is to mitigate the risk

of workplace accidents and common health issues.

CLAUSE 7 – SUPPORT
In this section, your organisation needs to provide support elements required to

implement, manage, and continually improve the occupational health and

safety management system. This support system may include resources,

methods of communication, staff awareness, and the need for documented

information.

CLAUSE 8 – OPERATION

Section eight covers the operation controls organisations must look into,

including management of change, emergency response, elimination of hazards,

and change in procurement. You can implement your operational processes by

developing criteria for operation control.

CLAUSE 9 – PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Performance evaluation covers systems for monitoring and assessment of

compliance with internal audit, legal requirements, and management review to

ensure the system’s overall effectiveness.

CLAUSE 10 – IMPROVEMENT

This last clause demands that your organisation manages the OH&S system

nonconformities, incidents, and corrective actions. This also covers the

commitment to continual improvement.
