In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Update your occupational health and safety auditor skills to audit a management system under ISO 45001

Two days for an auditor already certified on another management system standard. The course does not teach auditing again: it covers only what ISO 45001 adds, and which auditor reflexes become wrong in occupational health and safety.

Key challenges

  • In quality, a non-conformity leads to a corrective action. In health and safety it may amount to a legal breach and to people being exposed: the nature of the finding changes.
  • An auditor from a quality background looks for the procedure; ISO 45001 asks them to observe a practice and to question workers, which is not the same job.
  • An OH&S system audited without awareness of the hazards puts the auditor themselves at risk in the areas they visit.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the ISO 45001 requirements with no equivalent in other management system standards
  • Adapt one's audit technique to the observation of work situations
  • Assess legal compliance without standing in for the labour inspectorate
  • Qualify an OH&S finding taking the severity of exposure into account
  • Audit safely for oneself in hazardous areas

Detailed programme

  1. 1A differential reading: what ISO 45001 adds to the common structure requirements
  2. 2Worker consultation and participation: the requirement specific to this standard
  3. 3Hazard identification, risk assessment, hierarchy of controls
  4. 4Legal compliance: the scope of the auditor's assessment and its limits
  5. 5Emergency preparedness, incidents and investigations
  6. 6Field audit technique: workstation observation, operator interview
  7. 7Auditor safety: site induction, protective equipment, restricted areas
  8. 8OH&S findings discussed and qualified as a group

Target audience

  • Auditors certified on ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or another standard, extending into OH&S
  • Third-party auditors mandated for multi-standard audits

Prerequisites

  • A valid auditor certification on a management system standard
  • Active audit practice

Learning methods

Two days face-to-face, a tight format that does not revisit audit fundamentals

A cross-reference table between standards provided to participants

Learning assessment

Written test on the requirements specific to ISO 45001

Qualification of OH&S findings on case studies

Scope of application

Reference frameworks: ISO 45001, ISO 19011 and the harmonised structure of management system standards. The actual extension of an auditor certification to the OH&S standard is decided by the personnel certification body, on the basis of a file and witnessed audits.
