ISO 45001 Clause 5.2 OH and S policy requires top management to establish, implement and maintain an OH and S policy that includes a commitment to provide safe and healthy working conditions, fulfill legal and other requirements, and achieve continual improvement of the OH and S management system. It also requires the policy to be communicated within the organization and to be available to interested parties, as appropriate.
B. The management is committed to health and safety improvement is correct because the policy states: “Continual health and safety improvement is a permanent objective of the organisation.” That clearly demonstrates commitment to improvement, which aligns with Clause 5.2.
C. The organisation intends to communicate its policy to external parties is correct because the policy says: “Where required, the policy shall be communicated to all interested parties.” This matches the ISO 45001 requirement that the OH and S policy be available to interested parties, as appropriate.
G. The organisation is committed to continual health and safety improvement is also correct because the statement explicitly says: “Continual health and safety improvement is a permanent objective of the organisation.” This directly reflects the requirement for continual improvement in the OH and S policy.
Why the other options are not supported by the policy statement:
A is not correct because the policy expresses intent to work in accordance with regulations, but it does not prove the organization meets all statutory requirements in practice.
D is not correct because the policy does not provide evidence of reputation.
E is not correct because the policy does not prove that processes actually deliver improvement; it only states commitment.
F is not correct because the policy mentions contractors, but it does not prove that contractors themselves are committed to health and safety.
H is not correct because the policy mentions safe experiences and customers, but it does not prove that customer health and safety requirements are satisfied.
Therefore, the three options for which the organization is meeting ISO 45001 policy requirements are:
B, C, G
