The Verivexa ISO 45001 Legal & Other Requirements Toolkit provides editable resources designed to help organisations identify, assess, maintain and review legal and other requirements relevant to their Occupational Health & Safety Management System.

What’s Included

The toolkit contains 5 dedicated resources covering the management of legal and other OH&S requirements, including:

• Legal & Other Requirements Policy and Procedure
• Identification and applicability of requirements
• Legal & Other Requirements Register
• Responsibility and ownership
• Monitoring changes to requirements
• Links between requirements, hazards, risks and operational controls
• Review and maintenance arrangements
• Supporting implementation guidance

Together, the resources provide a structured framework for identifying what applies, understanding how requirements affect the organisation and maintaining current information as circumstances change.

More Than a Legal Register

The Verivexa ISO 45001 Legal & Other Requirements Toolkit helps organisations establish a structured process for identifying, assessing, maintaining and acting upon applicable OH&S legal and other requirements.

Rather than providing only a register, the toolkit connects:

Identify Requirements → Assess Applicability → Maintain Register → Track Compliance Actions → Monitor Regulatory Change → Review & Update

Identify What Actually Applies

OH&S legal and other requirements vary significantly depending on an organisation's location, activities, workforce, workplaces, equipment and risk profile.

The toolkit provides a framework for organisations to identify and evaluate requirements relevant to their own circumstances rather than relying on a generic pre-populated list.

Depending on the organisation, requirements may arise from:

• Legislation and regulations
• Regulatory authorities
• Licences, permits or approvals
• Contractual commitments
• Customer requirements
• Industry or sector requirements
• Corporate requirements
• Voluntary commitments
• Agreements with workers or worker representatives
• Other commitments adopted by the organisation

Maintain Current Requirements

Legal and other requirements change.

The toolkit therefore supports the establishment of defined arrangements for monitoring relevant changes, assessing their impact and updating the OH&S management system where necessary.

This can help organisations determine:

• What has changed
• Whether the change applies
• Which activities or workplaces are affected
• Whether risk assessments need reviewing
• Whether operational controls require amendment
• Whether competence or awareness needs updating
• Who is responsible for implementing the change

Connect Requirements to Your OH&S System

Applicable requirements should influence more than the legal register.

The toolkit helps organisations consider how requirements connect with:

• Hazard identification
• OH&S risk assessment
• Operational controls
• Competence and training
• Communication
• Contractors
• Procurement
• Emergency arrangements
• Monitoring and measurement
• Management of change
• OH&S objectives and improvement

This creates stronger traceability between an identified obligation and the way it is actually managed.

Supports Compliance Evaluation

The toolkit establishes the foundation required for subsequent evaluation of compliance.

It is important to distinguish between identifying applicable legal and other requirements and evaluating whether those requirements are being fulfilled.

The Legal & Other Requirements Toolkit focuses primarily on establishing and maintaining the requirements framework. Organisations requiring the wider compliance-evaluation and certification-readiness resources should consider the Professional or Complete ISO 45001 Toolkit.

Jurisdiction-Neutral by Design

The toolkit does not contain a generic pre-populated list of legislation presented as though it applies to every organisation.

Instead, the resources provide a structured framework that can be adapted to the organisation's actual jurisdiction, activities and obligations.

This makes the toolkit suitable for organisations operating across different countries and regulatory environments.
