The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven ISO 45001 process areas: Context, Leadership, Planning, Support, Operation, Performance Evaluation, and Improvement. Practitioners use it to evaluate current practices, identify gaps, and build prioritized action plans. Example questions include: 'Do you have a documented process for identifying hazards in non-routine activities?', 'Is top management review output documented and communicated?', and 'Are incident investigation reports reviewed for systemic trends?' Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable yes/no or evidence-based question to support objective evaluation.
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for key occupational health and safety artifacts, including the hazard register, risk assessment form, incident investigation report, corrective action log, internal audit checklist, management review agenda, OHS policy, training record sheet, emergency response plan outline, contractor safety assessment, and safety inspection checklist. These templates are designed for immediate use and can be customized to fit organizational formats and branding.
Course Outcomes and Certification
