results

13. Context of the Organization
 The organization should determine internal and external environment
to determine the issues that are relevant, and can prevent the
success of the occupational health and safety management system
implementation.
 It is also important to monitor and review the issues that can
influence the ability of organizations to achieve the intended results
from the OH&S.
 Context of the organization is a new requirement and a very
important one, as it is necessary to obtain an overview of the
organization to understand occupational health and safety challanges
of the organization, and the risk inherent in that market segment.
ISO 45001, clause 4

14. Context of the Organization
Opportunites Threats
WeaknessesStrengths
Practical Advice
 ISO 45001 offers no practical
approach to analyze the context
of an organization
 Several methodologies exist to
understand how an organization
functions
 The important thing is to identify
the characteristics of internal and
external environmental factors
that will influence risk
management: mission, main
activities, internal organization,
stakeholders, etc..
Analyzing the External Environment

15. Interested Parties
• ISO 45001, clause 4.2a) The other interested parties, in addition

• Requirements to determine
the scope are more extensive

standard sets the
requirements regarding

requirement is mandatory
and may only be excluded if it
cannot be applied.
Consider the following
to determine the scope:

functions, and physical
boundaries

services

control
