ISO 45001 Mandatory Documents

I would like to start by pointing out that the audit is not a pass/fail. Implementing a management system is not just meeting the ISO 45001 requirements but rather ensuring your management system is effective and efficient as well as meeting all requirements. This means implementing the processes required to prevent injury and ill health in your workplace using the ISO 45001 requirements as a framework, but also meeting legal and other requirements around OH&S management.

The mandatory documents are what the ISO 45001 standard requires, but others may be needed to promote consistency of processed or to meet legal requirements. While these might be the only document you end up needing, just preparing the documents is not all that is required to implement the system, you need to put in place the processes needed to prevent injury and ill health for your unique organization.

Documentation is not everything.
