ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training Course

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