OHS Procurement Procedure

The OHS Procurement Procedure sets out a systematic process for selecting and evaluating suppliers so they meet defined occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, in line with ISO 45001:2018.

It covers the purpose and scope, the responsibilities of the Procurement Officer, OHS Manager or Specialist and other relevant roles, and six steps: defining OHS criteria, assessing and mitigating risk, evaluating suppliers, selecting and onboarding, verifying and monitoring performance, and keeping records.

It also lists the support documents the procedure refers to, such as the OHS Procurement Request Form, Risk Assessment Form, Supplier Questionnaire, Supplier Evaluation Scorecard and Verification Checklist.
