Introduction:
Internal auditing is fundamental to any improvement initiative. The OHSAS 18001:2007 standard requires that an
organisation conduct internal occupational health & safety management system audits to determine the
effectiveness of its occupational health & safety management system. Trained auditors must carry out these
audits. However, most internal audits carried out provide little improvement benefits and are conducted merely for
compliance.
This 2-day course is designed to take participants through all stages of an occupational health & safety
management system internal audit to emphasize the challenges in conducting an internal audit and the resulting
business value. Through practical exercises, participants will prepare for, conduct, and report on an internal
audit. From this experience, course participants will learn how to accurately interpret and audit against the OHSAS
18001:2007 requirements. Course participants will also learn how to develop an effective internal audit programme,
establish or improve the existing internal audit system, and plan and conduct effective internal audits.
