Worker participation is a fundamental principle of ISO 45001 (Clause 5.4). It ensures workers at all levels are involved in key activities to enhance the OH&S management system's effectiveness.

Analysis of Options:

A . Determining competence requirements: Incorrect. Determining competence is primarily the responsibility of management, though workers may provide input.

B . Establishing OHS objectives: Correct. Worker involvement ensures objectives are realistic and relevant to workplace conditions (Clause 6.2).

C . Managing internal audit programme: Incorrect. Managing audits is typically a managerial responsibility, though workers may participate in audits.

D . Determining actions to eliminate hazards: Correct. Workers' insights are critical in identifying and implementing actions to eliminate hazards (Clause 8.1.2).

E . Determining what needs to be communicated: Incorrect. While communication strategies impact workers, their participation in determining communication needs is not explicitly required.

F . Establishing OHS policy: Correct. Workers should be involved in developing policies to ensure relevance and buy-in (Clause 5.2).

ISO Reference:

Clause 5.4: Worker participation.

Clause 6.2: OHS objectives.

Clause 8.1.2: Hierarchy of controls and hazard elimination.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. Does worker participation mean just the workers themselves, or also their representatives? I'll need to double-check that detail.
