# OHSMS Hazard & Legal Author > Guided elaboration of OH&S management system documentation for ISO 45001: context, hazard identification and risk assessment (6.1.2), hierarchy of controls (8.1.2), legal and other requirements register (6.1.3), planning action (6.1.4), consultation and participation (5.4), and OH&S objectives (6.2). Verifies hazard–legal linkage, hierarchy of controls documentation, planning action completeness, and flags missing review dates or compliance status. Tags: Occupational Health and Safety, ISO 45001, OHSMS, Compliance, Hazard ## Example Prompts - Build our legal and other requirements register for OH&S with review dates - Document hazards and link them to applicable legal requirements - Check that each obligation in the legal register has a review date and compliance status URL: https://rakenne.app/skills/ohsms-hazard-legal-author/index.md Try this skill: https://rakenne.app/a/?skill=ohsms-hazard-legal-author ## Overview Guided elaboration of OH&S management system documentation for ISO 45001: context, hazard identification, risk assessment, legal and other requirements register, consultation and participation, and OH&S objectives. Verifies hazard–legal linkage and flags missing review dates or compliance status. ## Getting Started Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *OHSMS Hazard & Legal Author* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step. ## Example Conversation > **You:** We've identified hazards for our warehouse and assembly area. I need a legal and other requirements register for OH&S and to link hazards to the relevant regulations. > > **Agent:** I'll create a legal register template (source, applicability, review date, compliance status) and run `check_legal_register_ohs` on your hazard register to see if legal requirements are referenced. Then we can link each hazard to applicable obligations. > > **Agent:** The tool found your hazard section but no clear legal/other requirements section yet. It also warned that the legal register should include a review date and compliance status for each obligation. I've added a legal register template and a "Linked obligations" column to your hazard table so we can reference regulation IDs (e.g. national OHS law Art. 12, local fire code). > > **You:** Populate the register with the three regulations we already have. > > **Agent:** Done. After you add review dates and compliance status, re-run `check_legal_register_ohs` to clear the warnings. ## Sample Output Excerpt Excerpt from an OH&S legal register and hazard linkage. --- ### Legal and other requirements register (excerpt) | Requirement | Source | Applicability | Next review | Compliance status | |-------------|--------|---------------|-------------|-------------------| | Machinery safety | Directive 2006/42/EC (national transposition) | All assembly equipment | 2025-06-01 | CE marking; maintenance logs. | | Manual handling | National OHS Reg, Part 4 | Warehouse and assembly | 2025-09-01 | Training records; risk assessments. | | Fire safety | Local fire code Ch. 5 | All sites | 2025-12-01 | Annual drill; extinguisher checks. | *Hazard register (excerpt):* Forklift collision — linked to machinery and traffic rules; Slips/trips — linked to manual handling and housekeeping; Fire — linked to fire code. --- ## Built-in Validation Tools The skill includes an extension tool that checks OHSMS documentation for legal register and hazard linkage. ### What the tool checks | Check | `check_legal_register_ohs` | |-------|:--------------------------:| | **Legal register** | Detects legal and other requirements / obligations register (6.1.3) | | **Review date** | Looks for review date, next review, or date patterns | | **Compliance status** | Looks for compliance, status, evidence, conform, audit | | **Hazard–legal link** | If hazards are documented, checks that legal/requirements are referenced in the document | | **Findings** | WARNING if register lacks review date or compliance status; INFO for hazard–legal linkage | ### Example validation output ``` ====================================================================== OH&S LEGAL REGISTER & HAZARD LINKAGE REPORT ISO 45001:2018 ====================================================================== Document: docs/ohsms-manual.md --- FINDINGS --- [WARNING] Legal and other requirements register should include a review date (or next review) for each obligation. Add review dates where missing. [INFO] Document includes hazards and legal requirements; verify linkage between hazards and applicable legal/other requirements. --- SUMMARY --- Errors: 0 Warnings: 1 ====================================================================== ``` Run the tool on your hazard register, legal register, or OH&S manual after drafting or updating. ## Getting Started Start by activating the *OHSMS Hazard & Legal Author* skill. The agent will guide you through hazard identification, risk assessment, legal register creation, and OH&S objective setting. Have this information ready: - A list of your main work activities and their associated hazards (e.g., working at heights, manual handling, chemical exposure, mobile plant operation) - Applicable OH&S legislation and regulations (e.g., national OHS Act, industry-specific regulations, codes of practice) - Your risk assessment methodology preferences (severity/likelihood matrix dimensions) - Any existing hazard registers, safe work method statements, or risk assessments you want to build on - Details of recent incidents or near-misses that should feed into hazard identification - Names and roles of people responsible for implementing controls If the **Organization Profile** skill has already been completed, the agent will automatically reference it for industry sector, worker demographics, locations, and regulatory environment — you won't need to repeat that information. The skill produces four key outputs: a hazard register with risk assessment and hierarchy of controls, a legal and other requirements register, a planning action log with owners and target dates, and OH&S objectives with measurable targets. --- Back to [Skill Library](https://rakenne.app/skills/index.md)
