ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training Course

A CQI and IRCA Certified ISO 45001 Auditor/Lead Auditor training course online or in person (Course ID: 1866)

Overview

This 5 day ISO 45001 Lead Auditor training course available on online or in person, teaches delegates the knowledge and skills required to conduct a complete an OH&S audit, from effectively planning the audit, to conducting the audit, reporting on the findings and ensuring follow up action is completed.  It is designed for those carrying out first, second or third party audits of an OH&S Management System.

This course is the first of its kind to meet the CQI and IRCA PR357 course specification ISO 45001:2018 Lead Auditor (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems) and successfully achieve CQI and IRCA certification.

ISO 45001 presents significant changes from OHSAS 18001 (the OH&S management system standard that ISO 45001 is replacing), including being based on ISO’s new Annex SL high level structure and requiring organisations to consider the context they operate in.

• Audit planning
• Documentation requirements
• OH&S legislation and codes of practice
• Hazard identification
• Audit checklists
• Risk assessment and development of risk management controls
• Audit frequency, emergency planning and audit scope
• Opening meetings
• On-site audit process, including interviewing techniques, notetaking and making judgements
• Non-conformances, corrective actions and follow-up
• Closing Meetings

Who Should Attend

• Those wishing to perform first, second or third party audits of an OH&S management system
