ISO/DIS 45001:2026 5.3: Roles, responsibilities and authorities

What does 5.3 require?

Top management assigns responsibilities and authorities for relevant roles and communicates them, and specifically names who makes sure the system conforms to this document and who reports on how the system is performing. Workers at every level take responsibility for the parts of the system they control. The draft now requires the roles, responsibilities and authorities to be kept as documented information. Top management stays accountable even where it delegates.
