Description
ISO 45001 is the international requirements standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It provides a systematic framework for preventing work-related injury and ill health, eliminating hazards, reducing OH&S risks and improving OH&S performance through leadership, worker participation and continual improvement.
The Lead Auditor course goes beyond clause awareness. It develops the ability to translate OHSMS requirements, legal requirements and risk controls into audit criteria, evaluate objective evidence, assess worker consultation and operational controls, communicate findings and lead an audit team through the complete audit cycle.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is suitable for professionals who audit, manage, implement or improve occupational health and safety management systems, including:
- Health and safety managers, officers, engineers and advisers
- HSE, EHS, risk, compliance and governance professionals
- Internal auditors seeking audit-team and Lead Auditor capability
- OH&S consultants and ISO 45001 implementation specialists
- Supplier, contractor and second-party health and safety auditors
- Certification-body auditor candidates preparing for a recognised training requirement
- Operations, facilities, manufacturing, construction, energy and project managers
- Professionals responsible for legal requirements, incident learning, audit programmes, corrective action and continual improvement
Recommended Prior Knowledge
Learners are expected to understand ISO 45001 requirements and commonly used occupational health and safety management terms and definitions. They should also understand:
- The intended outcomes of an OHSMS: prevention of work-related injury and ill health, provision of safe and healthy workplaces and improved OH&S performance
- The Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the relationship between leadership, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation and improvement
- The difference between hazards, OH&S risks, OH&S opportunities and other management-system risks and opportunities
- Typical hazard-identification and risk-assessment approaches and the hierarchy of controls
- Applicable legal and other requirements and how compliance is evaluated
- Worker consultation and participation, including barriers that can limit involvement
- Incident, nonconformity, correction, corrective action and continual improvement concepts
- Basic audit principles, professional conduct, evidence and organisational processes
Pre-course readiness: Learners without adequate ISO 45001 knowledge should complete suitable foundation-level learning or the approved Training Partner’s readiness activity before beginning advanced Lead Auditor training.
