Annex SL

What’s changed?

Vs.

Context of the organisation

ISO 45001:2018

Interested Parties

How do / should we cater for their needs / expectations within our management system?

Scope

Operational and geographical boundaries?

Where is the scope documented?

Management System

Have you got a ‘computer’? Is H&S ‘woven into what you do’?

Leadership

Good systems need a suitable mix of both…

How can you evidence these?

Manager Leader

Oversees processes well Wants to create the future

Must achieve balance Needs to make change

Thinks ‘execution’ Thinks ‘ideas’

Comfortable with control Welcomes risks

Problems needs fixing ASAP Problems are opportunities

Procedure is king Thinks outside the box

Gives orders Shows how its done

Can be impersonal Warm and approachable

Go and do it Let’s make it happen!

Risks & Opportunities

Consider both risks AND opportunities as a

‘raspberry ripple’, not a ‘dollop on top’…

Consultation & Participation

Non-managerial workers are a key ingredient!

Two halves – consultation and participation
