Overview
This comprehensive two day programme provides delegates with knowledge to audit health and safety management systems to the OHSAS 18001 standard, providing occupational health and safety practitioners and systems auditors with the skills necessary to perform internal OH&S management system audits competently. We use a unique 'slide photo tour', enabling delegates to visualise and identify site issues, providing an element of 'real-life' auditing and observation in the class-room environment.
Description
Contents
Through the various interactive tutorials, case studies and workshops following the stages of a live audit, our course will enable delegates to:

- Plan and prepare for an internal audit with an awareness of auditing procedures and documentation.
- Conduct an effective OH&S MS internal audit, present audit findings and assess continual improvement programmes.
- Practical workshops are designed to reinforce the discussions and topics, building on skills of audit planning and structure, nonconformity writing, conducting audit interviews, evaluating findings and reporting results back to Senior Management. Evening work groups prepare responses to case study situations.
