The next steps

• PLAN: Develop a transition plan (consult with your certification

body) which will identify any resources, communications, education
and support required
“Leadership and Learning are indispensable to each
• PREPARE: Obtain a copy of Annex SL and draft DIS 45001.2 and other.
assess the impact it may have upon your organisation’s safety
management system. Maintain updated information on progress Those who look only to the past and the present are
and amendments
certain to miss the future. Change is the law of life”
• ENGAGE: with internal stakeholders (especially senior management)
to ensure understanding and ownership
JFK : Dallas (November 1963)
• ASSESS: Review current levels of leadership and commitment
toward health and safety within your organisation. Monitor and
communicate progress toward achievement of transition plan on a
regular basis to promote awareness and understanding
