ISO/DIS 45001:2026 4.2: Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties

What does 4.2 require?

The organization identifies the interested parties relevant to its OH&S system, what each of them requires, and which of those requirements it will address through the system. In doing so it must take account of how diverse its workforce and those other parties are, both in identifying their needs and in judging which needs are, or could turn into, legal or other requirements. A note keeps the Amendment 1 point that parties may have climate-related requirements.
