Question 1 of 30
\"GreenTech Solutions,\" an environmental consulting firm, is expanding its operations to include on-site remediation services, which involves hiring several subcontractors for hazardous waste removal. As the lead auditor responsible for assessing GreenTech\'s adherence to both ISO 26000:2010 and the newly implemented ISO 45001:2018 standards, you observe that the company\'s current OHS management system primarily focuses on the health and safety of its direct employees. There is limited consideration given to the potential occupational health and safety risks faced by the subcontractor\'s employees involved in the remediation projects. During an audit, a subcontractor employee reports a near-miss incident involving improper handling of asbestos. Considering the principles of ISO 45001:2018 and its relationship with ISO 26000:2010, what should be the primary recommendation to GreenTech Solutions to ensure comprehensive social responsibility and effective OHS management?
Expand the scope of the OHS management system to explicitly include contractors and subcontractors, ensuring their participation in hazard identification, risk assessment, and control implementation, and verifying their adherence to GreenTech's OHS policies.
Focus solely on improving communication channels with the local community to address any potential health concerns arising from the remediation activities, as community well-being is a core principle of ISO 26000.
Conduct a separate risk assessment specifically for the near-miss incident involving asbestos, without necessarily integrating the subcontractors into the broader OHS management system.
Develop a training program exclusively for GreenTech's direct employees on how to supervise and monitor the subcontractors' activities to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
