Occupational health and safety management system

Kern van de disclosure

Disclosure 403-1 requires an organisation to state whether it has implemented an occupational health and safety management system. An occupational health and safety management system is a set of interrelated or interacting elements used to establish an occupational health and safety policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives.

The organisation must state whether the system was implemented because of legal requirements and, if so, list those requirements. It must also state whether the system was implemented based on recognised risk management and/or management system standards or guidelines and, if so, list them. The organisation must describe the workers, activities and workplaces covered by the system and explain why any workers, activities or workplaces are not covered.

The organisation should determine and disclose the actual scope of the system. The disclosure does not permit the organisation to omit categories without explanation. It must identify all workers, activities and workplaces covered and explain every category that is not covered.

Relationship with GRI 403-8: Disclosure 403-1 describes whether an occupational health and safety management system has been implemented, the basis on which it was implemented, and the workers, activities and workplaces within its scope. Quantitative information on the number and percentage of workers covered by the system is reported separately under Disclosure 403-8.
