Menopause at work
Menopause is predictable and affects many employees during part of their working lives. ISO 45010:2026, published on 7 September 2026, gives guidance on how the topic can be handled in OHS management systems.
The topic is covered in depth on sydera.io. sydera.io/en/menopause-at-work ↗
A governance question
The Norwegian Internal Control Regulations require systematic OHS work. When menopause affects capacity, safety or absence, it can fall within that work. Arrangements planned in procedures mean fewer cases have to be handled one at a time.
