ISO 45001 Clause 6 – in 45 minutes
Planning
Clause 6 is probably the most complex clause within the standard however the main idea is that we identify the internal and external risks, as well as the threats to the management system.
Planning requires that managers be aware of environmental, social, physical and financial conditions facing the organisation and forecast future conditions.
This clause contains three sub-clauses
* Clause 6.1 (Actions to address risks and opportunities)
* Clause 6.2 (Quality objectives and planning to achieve them)
* Clause 6.3 (Planning of changes)
6.1. Risks and opportunities
6.1.2. Hazard identification, risk assessment and opportunities (Operational risk assessment)
- Identify hazards for all activities, products, services, substances, plants and equipment.
- New focus on psychosocial issues such as violence, bullying and intimidation
- Hazards and risks associated with design, installation and layout
- OHS risks and OHS opportunities
6.1.3. Legal and other requirements
- Identify all applicable legal and other requirements
- Make available and keep up to date
6.1.4. Planning
This is a new part of the clause where the organisation is encouraged to STOP and THINK before taking action
6.2. OHS objectives (who, what, where, how and with whom)
