• Objectives; improvement programme
• Health and safety policy
• Responsibilities
• System integration
• Communication and training

• All managers and key personnel in the organisation who will be affected by the OHSMS implementation.
• Those personnel who will input into the strategic OHSMS programme to determine issues such as policy and spending on improvement programmes.
• Legal advisors and experts
• Other systems staff who will be involved in the OHSMS (e.g. QMS, EMS)
