Abstract
Monitoring and measuring of the health and safety performance of each
workplace of the organization is a requirement of both European and national
legislation on occupational health and safety (OHS) as well as of ISO 45001:2018
standard. Considering an organization and its workplaces as dynamic systems, their
state from the point of view of OHS should be determined in a systematic manner by
monitoring and measuring, using appropriate methods, instruments, and equipment.
The subjects of monitoring and measuring could be in compliance with standards or
legal requirements, work accident recordings, or workers’ exposure to noxae. The
obtained results are then compared with reference values provided by legislation,
standards or imposed by the organisation itself. An overview of the organisation’s
health and safety performance monitoring and measuring in relation to both OHS
national legislation and ISO 45001:2018 requirements is presented in this chapter, with
a focus on internal audits and evaluation of compliance with legal and other
requirements. Practical aspects regarding audit and evaluation of compliance are
highlighted, and a checklist-based method for evaluation of compliance with legal
requirements is also presented.
