GB / T 45001-2020 emphasizes that these occupational health and safety factors are reflected in the entire management system of the organization and require a higher degree of recognition from management and leadership.

The standard requires that when planning an OHS, the organization should determine the risks and opportunities that the organization needs to deal with. Risks and opportunities exist in the organization's sources of risk, compliance, as well as the environment in which it is located and the needs and expectations of interested parties.

The standard requires organizations to take measures to deal with risks and opportunities to ensure that the system can achieve the expected results of the organization and continuous improvement of the organization in occupational health and safety.

Organizations need to consider their contractors , subcontractors and External Service Providers , as well as, for example, how their own work will affect neighboring neighbors. This will be more extensive than just focusing on the conditions with internal employees, meaning that organizations cannot simply "graft" their risks through outsourcing.
