- Hazard
- A source with the potential to cause injury and ill health. Hazards can be physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial, or organizational in nature and must be identified proactively.
- OH&S risk
- The combination of the likelihood of occurrence of a work-related hazardous event or exposure and the severity of injury and ill health that can be caused by the event or exposure.
- OH&S opportunity
- A circumstance or set of circumstances that can lead to improvement of OH&S performance, such as adapting work to workers or eliminating a hazard through redesign.
- Hierarchy of controls
- The ranked sequence for reducing risk: eliminate the hazard, substitute, use engineering controls and reorganize work, use administrative controls, then provide and use PPE.
- Consultation
- A two-way process of dialogue with workers and their representatives before decisions are made, giving them the chance to influence decisions affecting their OH&S.
- Worker
- A person performing work under the organization's control, including contractors, temporary staff, and self-employed persons, at any level of the organization.
- Continual improvement
- Recurring activity to enhance performance, distinguished from corrective action because it seeks to improve the system beyond fixing an existing nonconformity.
- Gap analysis
- A comparison of current practice against each ISO 45001 requirement, used to identify missing elements and prioritize implementation actions before certification.
- Context of the organization
- The combination of internal and external issues relevant to the organization's purpose and OH&S, including legal, technological, cultural, and market factors.
- Interested party
- A person or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by the OH&S MS. Workers and their representatives are always included.
- Scope of the OH&S MS
- The documented boundaries and applicability of the management system, stating activities, products, and services, and considering context, compliance obligations, and shared control.
- OH&S policy
- Top management's documented commitments to provide safe and healthy working conditions, prevent injury and ill health, fulfil compliance obligations, and consult and participate workers.
- Management representative
- The function appointed to ensure the OH&S MS conforms to requirements and reports performance to top management; accountability for the system remains with top management.
- Hazard identification inputs
- Sources considered when identifying hazards: routine and non-routine activities, human factors, emergencies, infrastructure, equipment, materials, work design, contractors, and change.
- Risk assessment methodology
- The defined approach and criteria used to evaluate OH&S risks and identify opportunities; it must be retained as documented information and applied consistently.
- Compliance obligations
- Legal and other requirements the organization must identify, access, and apply, determining how they apply to hazards and the OH&S MS, and keep as documented information.
- OH&S objectives
- Measurable, monitored, communicated goals consistent with the OH&S policy, established at relevant functions and levels, and updated as appropriate to improve performance.
- Planning to achieve objectives
- The documented plan stating what will be done, resources required, responsible person, completion date, how results are evaluated, and how progress is monitored.
- Competence
- The ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results, determined by education, training, or experience, with evidence retained as documented information.
- Awareness
- Workers' knowledge of the OH&S policy, significant hazards and risks, their contribution to the system, and the consequences of not conforming to requirements.
- Management of change
- A planned and controlled process for changes to products, processes, equipment, or organization, including review of unintended consequences and action to mitigate them.
- Emergency preparedness
- Planned responses to potential emergency situations, including training, testing, review, and communication to workers, contractors, visitors, and emergency responders.
- Procurement and contractors
- Controls ensuring outsourced functions and contractors meet OH&S requirements, and that purchased goods and services are verified against specified OH&S criteria.
- Documented information
- Information required to be controlled and maintained, plus the medium on which it is contained, controlled for availability, protection, and retention.
- Monitoring and measurement
- Determining what to monitor, the methods, criteria, timing, and who evaluates results, with evidence retained and equipment calibrated or verified where used.
- Evaluation of compliance
- The process of evaluating fulfilment of legal and other requirements at defined frequencies, with results retained as documented information.
- Internal audit programme
- A planned schedule of audits defining frequency, methods, responsibilities, and criteria, considering process importance and previous audit results, with impartial auditors.
- Management review inputs
- Items considered at planned intervals: prior actions, context changes, performance, resources, nonconformities, monitoring, compliance, audits, and improvement opportunities.
- Management review outputs
- Decisions and actions on opportunities for improvement, changes needed to the OH&S MS, and resource needs, retained as documented information.
- Corrective action
- Action to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity or incident and prevent recurrence, proportionate to the effect, with effectiveness reviewed and evidence retained.
- Stage 1 audit
- The initial certification audit stage that reviews documentation, scope, context, and readiness of internal audit and management review, identifying concerns for Stage 2.
- Surveillance audit
- A periodic audit after certification, typically at 12 months, verifying continued conformity and effectiveness; certificates are valid for three years before recertification.
