ISO 45001:2018 — Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems — Audit Checklist

ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational health and safety management systems — Requirements with guidance for use)

ISO 45001:2018 audit checklist. Worker consultation and participation, hazard identification, OH&S risk and opportunity assessment, legal requirements, the hierarchy of controls, contractors and emergency preparedness, incident investigation, internal audit and management review — Clauses 4–10, full-split.

For the OH&S / EHS or safety manager, safety officer or worker safety representative operating, building or certifying an occupational health and safety management system to ISO 45001.

ISO 45001 is the familiar seven management-system clauses, but the OH&S-specific demands — genuine worker consultation and participation, proactive hazard identification, the hierarchy of controls, contractor and emergency controls, and incident investigation with worker involvement — are where audits actually bite. This walks every clause.

Why now

ISO 45001:2018 is the current edition (it superseded OHSAS 18001). Certification and client/regulator assurance turn on evidencing each clause — especially worker participation, hazard identification and incident investigation.

What you get for €450

01

Every provision mapped

All 121 audit questions trace to a specific article, annex or clause of ISO 45001:2018. Nothing is hand-waved: each provision is either covered by one or more questions or explicitly recorded as informational. The free Compliance Matrix proves it, line by line.

02

Built to survive scrutiny

Authored and reviewed by compliance management professionals with decades of regulatory experience, against a stated version of ISO 45001:2018. Source text is reproduced verbatim per question, with suggested evidence inline — so an auditor (or a regulator) can follow every answer back to the regulation.

03

Hundreds of hours, ready Monday

The decomposition, evidence prompts and classification scheme are done. Five ready-to-use formats, delivered on payment, that drop straight into your audit process or your GRC tool — instead of months building a checklist from the raw regulation.
