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.

- Recognised international safety certificates
- Job hazard analysis, risk assessment and permit-to-work
- Offshore and construction safety
- Incident investigation and behaviour-based safety
- Contractor HSE audits and inspections
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Manufacturing & industry · Oil & gas · Telecom · Government & public sector

How they teach
- Incident and emergency scenario exercises
- Site-based exercises and walk-through audits
- Group risk assessments on real scenarios
- Exam-style knowledge checks and quizzes

Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
