Who is this auditor course for?
Auditors, consultants and professionals responsible for occupational health and safety who want to examine systems using evidence rather than documents alone. Familiarity with the standard helps you engage with audit planning and evaluation.
What does the programme cover?
Link audit evidence to the way an organisation identifies hazards, involves workers and controls operational risk.
- Leadership, worker consultation and participation in the safety management system.
- Hazard identification, legal obligations and operational controls.
- Incident investigation, performance evaluation and corrective action.
What evidence shows that worker participation is effective?
Useful evidence goes beyond a policy statement. Auditors can examine how concerns are raised, considered and followed up, and whether workers understand the arrangements. Comparing interviews with records and observations helps reveal whether participation influences actual decisions. This connects the standard’s intent with daily practice and supports findings that management can act on.
From audit planning to reporting
Learning connects the standard’s requirements with audit scope, evidence sampling, interviews, findings and follow-up. You need to explain why evidence supports a conclusion and communicate nonconformities clearly. Course completion is distinct from any separate professional auditor credential.
Does a good safety record prove the system is effective?
Incident totals alone are not enough. An audit examines whether risk controls are implemented, workers can participate, and monitoring leads to action. This helps distinguish a well-written procedure from an arrangement that works in practice.
