The leadership of an organization needs to be engaged with its occupational health and safety (OH&S) program. This can be demonstrated by managerial review of the program.
Reviews should be conducted at planned intervals (scheduled).
Documentation should be retained as evidence of the review.

(2) changes in external and internal issues that impact occupational health and safety
(3) review of objectives
(4) review of performance measures (see below)
(5) determining if resources are adequate
(6) reviewing communications with interested parties
(7) identifying opportunities for continual improvement
Performance measures may include:
(1) incidents, corrective actions and nonconformities
(2) results of monitoring and measurement
(3) evaluation of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
(4) audit results
(5) inclusion of workers
(6) risks and opportunities
Outputs:
(1) review of the effectiveness of the OH&S program
(2) review of continual improvement opportunities
