ISO 45001 Resource Management

The Scope of Resource Management includes:

• Human Resources
• Information and communication
• Facilities / equipment / workplaces

Your organization needs to be asking whether these resources are sufficient to provide safe and healthy workplaces. Auditors will be looking to see if the lack of these resources is at the root cause of nonconformances. You should consider these resources or insufficient resources as a potential cause of nonconformances. As internal audits or your corrective action system identify problems with resources as a root cause, improvements to the resources are necessary. Providing adequate resources is a core element of your OH&S.

Human Resources

In addition to employees being trained for a job, the effectiveness of that training must be measured, the criteria for competence determined. The employee must be aware of the relevance and importance of their activities and how they contribute to the achievement of the health and safety objectives.

• Can you tell an auditor what the competency requirements are for a specific position?
• Are you then able to show the auditor that employees in that position have met those requirements and been effectively trained as required?

Facilities and Equipment

Auditors will evaluate the buildings, workspace, equipment, and supporting services to determine if they contribute to nonconformances.

• Issues would be identified in this area if it is evident that the inadequate provision of resources is at the root cause of OH&S nonconformances.

Work Conditions

Many workplace factors have a direct impact on health and safety. Factors such as cleanliness, temperature, ergonomics, or lighting can all affect the health and safety of workers or cause nonconformances.

• Auditors will consider workplace and may determine that inadequate control of the workplace is the root cause of a nonconformance.
