About This Course

What Makes an Effective OH&S Internal Auditor

An effective internal auditor does more than check compliance boxes. They help their organization identify improvement opportunities and strengthen workplace safety. A competent ISO 45001 auditor must be able to:

  • Understand ISO 45001 requirements and how they apply to workplace activities, hazards, and legal obligations
  • Plan and prepare for internal audits by developing checklists and reviewing relevant OH&S documentation
  • Gather objective evidence through interviews, workplace observation, and review of safety records
  • Identify and document nonconformities clearly and professionally
  • Support corrective action processes and verify that safety issues have been effectively resolved

This course develops these capabilities through structured lessons, practical examples, and audit resources you can apply immediately in your organization.
