Preview — answers shown1. Which document provides practical guidance and real-life examples for implementing the requirements of ISO 45001:2018? (Select one!)
AISO 9001
BISO 45002
CISO 14001
DISO 19011
Explanation
ISO 45002 is titled 'Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems: General guidelines on implementation of ISO 45001:2018.' It provides practical advice and examples against all clauses of ISO 45001. ISO 19011 relates to auditing, while ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are quality and environmental management standards, respectively.
2. In the context of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle used by ISO 45001, which clauses primarily correspond to the 'Check' phase? (Select one!)
AClauses 4, 5, and 6 (context to planning)
BClauses 7 and 8, Support, operation
CClause 10, Improvement
DClause 9, Performance evaluation
Explanation
The PDCA cycle maps to ISO 45001 clauses as follows: Plan (Clauses 4-6), Do (Clauses 7-8), Check (Clause 9), and Act (Clause 10). Clause 9 covers performance evaluation, including monitoring, measurement, internal audits, and management reviews, which constitute the 'Check' phase.
3. An organization identifies a new hazard in its production line. The safety team proposes installing a new ventilation system. Where does this control fall in the hierarchy of controls? (Select one!)
AEngineering controls
BAdministrative controls
CElimination
DPersonal protective equipment
Explanation
The hierarchy of controls prioritizes elimination first, then substitution, followed by engineering controls. Installing a ventilation system is an engineering control because it isolates people from the hazard. It is not elimination (removing the hazard), administrative (changing work practices), or PPE (wearing gear).
4. A new chemical is introduced into a production line. Which clause of ISO 45001 primarily addresses the need to identify the hazards associated with this new substance? (Select one!)
AClause 6: Planning for OH&S risks
BClause 9: Performance Evaluation
CClause 4: Context of the Organization
DClause 10: Improvement
Explanation
Clause 6 (Planning) requires the organization to proactively identify hazards and assess risks. This includes considering routine and non-routine activities, such as the introduction of new chemicals or processes, to determine necessary controls.
5. A company changes its shift patterns to 12-hour days. Which clause requires the organization to assess the impact of this change on OH&S performance? (Select one!)
AClause 4: Context of the Organization
BClause 8: Operation, including Management of Change
CClause 9: Performance Evaluation and internal audit
DClause 10: Improvement and continual improvement
Explanation
Clause 8 requires the organization to establish a process for the planning and implementation of changes that affect OH&S performance, known as Management of Change. This includes changes to processes, services, or the management system itself, such as shift patterns. While context (Clause 4) sets the stage and evaluation (Clause 9) checks results, the specific requirement to manage the change process itself resides in Clause 8.
