ISO 45001 Internal Auditor

This course is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to perform effective internal audits of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) based on the ISO 45001:2018 standard. You will learn to move beyond simple “compliance checking” to become a catalyst for a safer, healthier workplace.

Course Curriculum:

• Understanding the Standard: A deep dive into the ISO 45001 clauses (4–10), including the High-Level Structure (Annex SL) that aligns OHS with other ISO standards like 9001 and 14001.

• The Auditor’s Toolkit (ISO 19011): Master the principles of auditing, from establishing audit programs to mastering the technical skills of evidence collection (interviewing, observation, and document review).

• The PDCA Framework: Learn how to audit the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to ensure the OHSMS isn’t just a manual on a shelf, but a living process of continual improvement.

• Risk-Based Auditing: Shift your focus to high-risk areas. Learn how to evaluate an organization’s hazard identification and risk assessment processes to ensure critical dangers are controlled.

• Reporting & Non-Conformities: Learn to write factual, objective audit reports. Master the art of categorizing “Major” vs. “Minor” non-conformities and evaluating the effectiveness of proposed corrective actions.

• Health & Safety Managers and Officers

• Internal Audit Team Members

• Operations Managers

• Quality and Environmental Auditors looking to expand their scope
