Core concepts
Concept 1
ISO 45001 and HSG65 models, leadership, worker participation and the plan-do-check-act cycle.
Exam cue: Identify the workplace evidence, people exposed, hazard mechanism and applicable duty before selecting a control.
Concept 2
Locate the weakness in policy, organising, planning, implementation, checking or review and connect the stages.
Exam cue: Prefer elimination and engineered or collective protection before procedural controls and PPE, then verify effectiveness.
Concept 3
A certificate, audit or policy alone does not prove that the management system controls operational risk.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Guardrail: Do not give a generic control list without linking it to the task, people, environment, owner and verification method.
