SOURCES
The sources behind every line
There are three kinds of source here, and the pages say which one a line comes from: the published standard that applies today, the public record of the 45008 draft, and one named practitioner summary used only to name subject areas. The ISO 45001:2018 text is not reproduced. The ISO/DIS 45008 requirement text is not public and is not reproduced.

Guidance in the same family, named only
ISO 45002 (implementation), ISO 45003 (psychosocial risks, held for the psychosocial preparation), ISO 45004 (performance evaluation), ISO 45006 (infectious disease) and ISO/PAS 45007 (climate change) are guidance in the same family. They support topics the remote working record touches, but they are not certification standards and this product does not hold the text of each. They are named here so a reader knows where the guidance stops and the requirement begins. See the ISO catalogue.
How the sources are used
- The requirement today is written from our ISO 45001:2018 clause record, with Amendment 1:2024 already carried in 4.1 and 4.2. The evidence and the common gaps come from the same held record.
- The public record is the ISO stage page, the BSI project scope and the BSI consultation release. They give the designation, the stage, the dates, the scope and the subject areas.
- The subject areas are named from the BSI release and one practitioner summary. Neither is the draft. Both are labelled wherever they are used.
- The dates are from the ISO stage record, with the publication expectation from BSI. The planning date is the reader's estimate, labelled. No ISO 45008 transition document exists and none is claimed.
If a source changes. The refresh script re-downloads the public sources, diffs them against the record and fails loudly on a change. That diff is what the change watch sends. A correction is made in the record and regenerates every page, not patched on one page.
