ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Masterclass

Plan, conduct and close OH&S management system audits against ISO 45001 — to ISO 19011 guidelines and ISO/IEC 17021-1 certification requirements, with the PECB credential on completion.

The programme

ISO 45001 gives business the first truly international framework for occupational health and safety management — and an audit done badly reduces it to shelf-ware while workers stay exposed. This masterclass strengthens the knowledge and skills to plan and carry out an OH&S MS audit in compliance with ISO 19011 guidelines and the certification process described in ISO/IEC 17021-1. The cohort works from fundamental concepts through requirements interpretation to full audit practice: planning, conducting, closing and managing an audit programme. Successful completion is followed by an exam; passing supports application for the PECB Certified ISO 45001 Lead Auditor credential — IAS-certified, internationally recognised validation of your ability to audit an OH&S MS.

What you will do

Ground your audits in the fundamental concepts of an OH&S management system based on ISO 45001.
Interpret ISO 45001 requirements from the perspective of an auditor.
Evaluate OH&S MS conformity in accordance with fundamental audit concepts and principles.
Plan, conduct and close a compliance audit per ISO/IEC 17021-1 requirements and ISO 19011 guidelines.
Manage an ISO 45001 audit programme across an organisation.
Turn audit findings into safety outcomes — fewer accidents, injuries and claims, and a culture where people feel safe to work.

Who attends

  • Auditors seeking to perform and lead OH&S MS certification audits
  • Managers and consultants advancing their OH&S audit knowledge
  • Internal auditors and owners of ISO 45001 conformity

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.
