Understanding the AS/NZS ISO 45001 Context of an Organization
Defining the AS/NZS ISO 45001 context of the organization refers to the conditions that exist or occur within a business. The term is often used to describe the relevant factors that make up a business’s internal and external environment.
There are several reasons why it is important to understand the context of an organizational structure, including:
- To provide valuable insights into the business’s culture and values.
- To help identify internal and external stakeholders and their interests, including relevant cultural, social, political, legal, financial, technological, economic, as applicable.
- To help to determine the positive or negative aspects of the competitive and market economic environments.
- To provide information about the business’s past and how it has evolved to achieve the intended outcomes.
Understanding the context of an organization means defining the scope, influences and effects of various elements within the organizational structure. This may include the organizations:
- Culture, goals and objectives.
- Approach to governance (with consideration to laws and regulations).
- Customers, communication and information
- The complexity of a wide range of products and services.
- Documented information.
- Working conditions.
- The flow of processes and size of markets, etc,
- Audit requirements in an ISO certification body.
How to Determine the Context of an Organization
The Australian standard of AS/NZS ISO 45001, OH&S management systems does not prescribe methods for determining the context of an organization. Therefore, this procedure template follows a very practical four-step approach:
1. Identify who are the relevant internal and external interested parties and what their requirements, needs and expectations are.
2. Identify the internal issues relevant to products, services, assets, investments and interested parties.
3. Identify the safety management system’s external factors, issues and contractual relationships that can affect products, services, assets, investments and interested parties.
4. Regularly assist with occupational health and safety management reviews and monitor those internal issues, external issues and interested parties that have been identified.
Note: Conducting a pestle analysis or strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis to AS/NZS ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) requirements can also help with establishing the context of an organization.
