OHS policy gap analysis
An OHS policy gap analysis shows exactly where your governance documents stop short — before the law actually starts working. Sydera Policy Scan tests the OHS policy against the working-environment act, the internal control regulation OHS, GDPR Art. 9 HR and ESRS S1 workforce evidence, and delivers a traceable gap picture without asking for individual cases or health data.
What an OHS policy gap analysis actually reveals
Many OHS handbooks look compliant on the surface but assume the employee will request accommodation before anything moves. Policy Scan reads the governance document and maps four things: where actions are triggered, which needs are addressed proactively, where the document leaks privacy exposure, and which standards the governance is aligned with. The output is an OHS policy gap picture management can act on — not abstract risk language.
Privacy-by-design for workplace health
Sydera is built privacy-by-design. We analyse the governance logic, not employees. The customer is responsible for ensuring the uploaded document contains no personal data; the product never asks for health data or individual cases. All review is human-reviewed against source material so the output is traceable for auditors and management.
Internal control regulation OHS and GDPR Art. 9 HR
The internal control regulation requires the organisation to operate a system that actually governs the working-environment duty. GDPR Art. 9 sets the limits for which workplace-health data you are allowed to collect. When the policy layer fails to connect the two, many organisations end up collecting too much, documenting too little, and reacting too late. Policy Scan shows where the two layers pull in different directions.
What you receive
A score, a gap report with source grounding (paragraphs, standard clauses), and a short management memo. Sydera constitutes the group's governance and compliance layer in cooperation with STÖ Group, an active contributor to the ISO 45010 work through Standard Norway's mirror committee SN/K 551 — so the analysis reflects where the standard work is actually moving.
Frequently asked questions
- What is an OHS policy gap analysis?
- A structured review of the OHS policy that identifies where the governance document stops short of working-environment law, the internal control regulation, GDPR Art. 9, and the emerging ISO 45010. Sydera delivers this as an L1 Policy Scan — proactive, traceable, and without exposing employees.
- Do I need to share health data to get the analysis?
- No. Sydera only analyses the governance document. We never ask for individual cases or health data. The customer is responsible for ensuring the uploaded document contains no personal data.
- How does the analysis relate to ISO 45010?
- STÖ Group is an active contributor to the ISO 45010 work through SN/K 551, Standard Norway's mirror committee to ISO/TC 283/WG 10. Policy Scan is aligned with the work, not certified against a finished standard — the standard is still under development.
