ISO 45001:2018 5.4: Consultation and participation of workers

The organization sets up, runs and keeps processes through which workers at every applicable level and in every applicable function, and their representatives where they exist, are consulted on and take part in developing, planning, putting in place, evaluating and improving the OH&S management system. It supplies the mechanisms, time, training and resources this needs; gives workers prompt access to information that is clear, easy to understand and relevant; removes, or reduces as far as possible, obstacles to taking part; puts weight on consulting non-managerial workers on set matters, such as the needs of interested parties, the policy, roles, legal requirements, objectives, controls over outsourcing and procurement, monitoring, audit and improvement; and puts weight on non-managerial workers taking part in identifying hazards, assessing risks, deciding on controls, determining competence needs, communication, control measures, investigating incidents and corrective action.
