ISO 45001 Clause 5

The best way to implement ISO 45001 is to take a systematic approach and work through the standard, starting with commitment and a gap analysis that identifies what you are already doing. Then work through a systematic process of implementing what you do not already have but is required. You can see the systematic way of implementation in the diagram below.

As for clause 5, many of the leadership requirements do not need documentation as they are a listing of top management OHSMS philosophy rather than what needs to go into a procedure. It is only mandatory for a procedure when the standard uses the term “documented information”, so in clause 5 you need to document objectives and worker participation and consultation, but not everything. You can learn more in the whitepaper below.
