Documents for ISO 45001 implementation

Answer:

Since the official version of ISO 45001 is not published yet (it is expected by the end of this year), I can only tell you what I know based on the draft version of the standard. Keep in mind that this is subjected to change and we cannot know with 100% certainty what will be requirements for documentation of the official ISO 45001 before it is published.

The most important group of documents needed for implementation of ISO 45001 are the ones explicitly required by the standard, the company must have these documents in order to be compliant with the standard. This includes the policy, objectives, procedures and records.

The second group of the documents are the ones that are not mandatory but the company finds them necessary for maintaining the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, this can be various procedures, policies, work instructions and records that can be useful for maintaining the system although they are not explicitly required by the standard.
