ISO 45001:2018 Readiness Checklist

This ISO 45001:2018 readiness checklist helps organizations evaluate their Occupational Health and Safety Management System before an external certification audit. It guides you through ISO 45001 clauses, including context of the organization, leadership and worker participation, OH&S policy, planning and risk/opportunity assessment, objectives, support and competence, communication, operational control, management of change, procurement and contractor controls, outsourcing, performance monitoring and measurement, internal audits, management review, and continual improvement. Use it to verify required documented information, define roles and responsibilities, ensure consultation with workers, establish audit programs, and confirm emergency preparedness. The checklist highlights evidence needed, typical actions, and coordination across multi-employer worksites to improve safety performance and audit readiness.
