Interested parties in ISO 45001
Assign topic to the user
Answer:
The ISO 45001 requires understanding who are the interested parties related to the OH&SMS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) and the implications that the OH&SMS might have on these parties. In order to be more detailed the standard specifies which types of parties are expected. We have the internal and external interested parties. Internal interested parties are employees, unions and so on, external interested parties are customers, of course, suppliers, subcontractors, related authorities and so on.
After identification of the interested parties, you need to identify their relevant needs and expectations. Considering that the focus of the standard is occupational health and safety, only needs and expectations related to it are considered relevant. For example, needs and expectations related to the product packaging are not relevant to OH&SMS, but requirements regarding protective equipment used in processes are relevant.
