Course intro:

ISO 45001:2018—Environment Management Systems this standard promotes the adoption of a process-based approach to managing a Health and Safety Management System.

The ISO standards require organisations to determine the effectiveness of their Health and Safety management systems on an annual basis through external audits, followed by an ISO Certified Body led re-certification audit every 3 years, to ensure compliance to ISO 45001 requirements. The annual external audit is hugely important to organisations which makes it critical to develop an internal audit team to ensure the organisation is conforming to the requirements of the standard.
