ISO 45001:2018's planning section (§6) contains requirements that are familiar to industrial hygienists and OH&S professions, and have been bedrock in OH&S management for decades. These include: hazard identification and assessment of risks and opportunities (§6.1.2); determination of legal requirements and other requirements (§6.1.3); and generating OH&S objectives and planning to achieve them (§6.2).

The standard requires that (§6.1.1):

“…when planning for the OH&S management system, the organization shall consider the issues referred to in §4.1 (context), the requirements referred to in §4.2 (interested parties) and §4.3 (the scope of its OH&S management system) and determine the risks and opportunities that need to be addressed to: give assurance that the OH&S management system can achieve its intended outcome(s); prevent, or reduce, undesired effects; and achieve continual improvement” (56).

Management of change (MOC) is addressed in §8.1.3, however, §6.1.1 (Actions to address risks and opportunities, general) implies that proactive MOC thinking is needed during the planning process, where it states:

“…the organization, in its planning process(es), shall determine and assess the risks and opportunities that are relevant to the intended outcomes of the OH&S management system associated with changes in the organization, its processes or the OH&S management system. In the case of planned changes, permanent or temporary, this assessment shall be undertaken before the change is implemented” (57).
