Presentation
Conducting an internal or external audit is one of the requirements of ISO 45001. It assesses the performance and efficiency of the management system in place and helps commit the company to continual improvement.
Through their experience and knowledge of the company's context, internal auditors can provide the recommendations needed to make the occupational health and safety management system a strategic management tool addressing the organisation's established OH&S and development challenges.
The Lead Auditor course helps you understand the subtleties of the standard's requirements, grasp the audit approach and acquire the tools needed to conduct an internal or external audit.
With this certification and the knowledge acquired, you can strengthen your position as an auditor, better address potential resistance from the managers and employees being audited, and contribute your perspective and expertise to corrective actions aimed at compliance and efficiency.
