Study Notes

ISO 45001-OHSMS

Provides a framework to manage risks and improve occupational health and safety (OH&S) performance.
Based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.
Consists of 10 clauses that address specific aspects of OH&S.

Clauses

Clause 1 - Scope: Defines the boundaries and applicability of the OSH management system within the organization.
