This five-day training course teaches you how to take the lead on auditing an operational health and safety (OH&S) management system. You’ll gain the skills to plan, conduct, report and follow up an audit in line with ISO 45001. At the end of the course, you'll have the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and skills through continual course assessment and a post-course online exam.
The training is suitable for anyone who already has good knowledge of management systems, the Plan, Do, Check Act (PDCA) cycle, ISO 45001, and occupational health and safety management. Through a mix of practical experience and activity-based learning, you’ll build on this knowledge to learn all the skills needed to lead an audit in your organization. Whether you take the course live and online or in person in a classroom, you’ll benefit from expert tuition and some homework across the five days.
