ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for the Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) management system. It serves as a framework in establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an occupational health and safety management system for organizations. Failure to comply can lead to workplace accidents and diseases, lawsuits, and cost overruns.
This ISO 45001:2018 readiness checklist can be used by businesses to perform self-assessments and identify gaps in achieving ISO 45001:2018 certification. This checklist breaks down each of the key ISO 45001 clauses into sections:
4) Context of the organization;
5) Leadership;
6) Planning;
7) Support;
8) Operation;
9) Performance Evaluation;
10) Improvement.
Each section assesses your organizations preparedness in implementing a certified OH&S Management System. Respond with “Ready”, “Nearly Ready,” or “More Work” to assess preparedness and track your overall % score. The ISO 45001:2018 readiness checklist is the first step in determining and prioritizing what aspects of your business to focus on next.

Use this hazard identification checklist to help assess potential risks (e.g noise, manual handling, excavation, etc.) at the worksite. Capture photo evidence of hazards found and assign urgent tasks to immediately address more pressing issues even while a site check is ongoing. Complete the assessment by including some comments and providing the overall rating. Analyze data collected to create better safety plans and strategies for your organization.
This incident report template can be used to help conduct a root cause analysis following an incident or near miss at a workplace.
