ISO 45001 Revision CheckerThe 40 requirements today, and the draft that replaces them
INFORMATIVE

Annex A: guidance, not requirements

Annex A is informative. It explains how to read the clauses; it does not add a requirement and an auditor cannot cite it as one. The draft is expected to expand it substantially. Each page below says what the guidance covers, how to use it, what it does not add and where it connects to a clause.

Read the guidance
Why the label matters. An audit finding should rest on a clause, not on an annex. If someone tells you Annex A requires a SWOT, a five-by-five matrix or a particular committee, ask which clause does. The guidance can still be the best explanation of what a clause means.
THE RECORD

The rules this is built from

Nothing here is invented. The 40 requirements that apply today are read from the held ISO 45001:2018 record, each with the evidence an auditor asks for and the ways it commonly fails. The revision layer is read from the public ISO stage record, the public draft contents and two named certification-body summaries. Where the record is silent, the page says so.
