Organizations are coming under increasing pressure from regulators, customers and key stakeholders to implement proactive safety management systems for the identification, assessment and management of workplace hazards and risks. A critical element of this process is the training of internal safety management system auditors.
Based on the requirements of Safety Management System Standard OHSAS 18001, the course provides participants with the knowledge of the OHSAS 18001 standard and insight, understanding, knowledge and skills to apply an effective audit methodology based on business goals and existing risk exposures.
