Requirement themes
ISO 45001 requirements emphasize leadership accountability, consultation and participation of workers, hazard-based planning, operational control, and performance evaluation for OH&S. This page summarizes themes — it is not the official standard text.

Themes in practice
Leadership and participation set the cultural and structural foundation. Planning covers hazards, risks, opportunities, and OH&S objectives. Support includes competence and communication. Operation applies hierarchy of controls, manages change and contractors, and prepares for emergencies. Evaluation and improvement close the loop with monitoring, incidents, audits, and management review.
