Suggested Answer: A,D Vote an answer
Clause 0.2 of ISO 45001 emphasizes the involvement of top management and alignment of OH&S objectives with the organization's OH&S policy.
Nonconformities Identified:
The objectives were developed by an external consultant without involving top management, which undermines leadership accountability and commitment.
The objectives were based on a competitor's framework, not aligned with the organization's unique OH&S policy or context.
Analysis of Options:
A . Establishing OH&S objectives did not include top management.
True. Clause 5.1 (Leadership) and Clause 6.2 (Objectives) emphasize that top management must be involved in defining and supporting OH&S objectives.
B . OH&S objectives are not being implemented by personnel.
Implementation relates to operationalization, not the development phase, and is not relevant to Clause 0.2.
C . OH&S objectives are not maintained as documented information.
While documentation is required, the absence of documented information is a separate issue under Clause 7.5, not Clause 0.2.
D . OH&S objectives were not established in alignment with the organization's OH&S policy.
True. Clause 6.2.1 requires objectives to align with the OH&S policy, which reflects the organization's commitment to safety and health.
E . The consultant has not interpreted ISO 45001 correctly.
While possibly true, the issue here is the organization's failure to involve top management, not the consultant's interpretation.
F . The organization cannot afford to undertake OH&S objectives all at once.
Financial constraints are not relevant to Clause 0.2; objectives can be prioritized for phased implementation.
ISO Reference:
Clause 0.2: Leadership commitment and alignment with organizational policy.
Clause 5.1: Top management's role in leadership and participation.
Clause 6.2.1: Establishing OH&S objectives aligned with the policy.
