ISO 45OO1 Occupational Health and Safety Audit

Performing an internal audit of the ISO 45001 standard, which refers to occupational safety and health management systems, is a fundamental and beneficial practice for organizations. These audits are a valuable tool to strengthen the occupational safety and health management system and promote a safe and healthy work environment. Below are some important reasons for conducting internal audits: 

Compliance with regulatory requirements: ISO 45001 establishes the need for periodic internal audits as part of the management system. By conducting these audits, your organization meets one of the key requirements of the standard, which can contribute to maintaining ISO 45001 certification. 

Identification of non-conformities: The internal audit helps to identify nonconformities in the organization’s occupational safety and health management system. These nonconformities can be gaps in relation to the requirements of the standard, internal policies and procedures, or applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Identifying these nonconformities allows timely corrective action to be taken to address the problems and improve the effectiveness of the system. 

Continual improvement: Internal audit is a valuable tool for driving continual improvement in the management system. By identifying nonconformities and areas for improvement, corrective and preventive actions can be implemented to address gaps and prevent the recurrence of similar problems in the future. This helps to strengthen the system and promote a safer and healthier work environment. 

Evaluating system effectiveness: The internal audit helps evaluate the effectiveness of the organization’s occupational safety and health management system. It helps to determine whether the controls and measures implemented are working properly and whether the established objectives are being achieved. This provides useful information for decision making and for adjusting and improving the overall system. 

Staff awareness and participation: Conducting internal audits involves the active participation of internal staff, which increases awareness and understanding of occupational health and safety requirements. This fosters a safety culture and promotes employee participation in identifying areas for improvement and implementing preventive measures. 

Preparation for external audits: Internal audits provide an opportunity to assess the organization’s readiness for external certification or customer audits. By identifying and addressing non-conformities internally, the ability to comply with external audit requirements is strengthened and associated risks are reduced.
