What you'll learn:
- Have a great understanding of ALL the requirements of OHSAS 18001
- Participate in an OHSAS 18001 audit
- Offer consulting on OHSAS 18001 implementation
- Implement an Occupational Health & Safety Management System
- Master the most popular standard for health and safety management
Learn occupational health and safety management and the fundamentals of auditing — through OHSAS 18001, the standard that defined health and safety management systems worldwide for two decades.
A note on currency, because you deserve a straight answer before enrolling: OHSAS 18001 has been replaced by ISO 45001 as the current international standard, and organizations no longer certify to it. What has not changed is almost everything this course teaches — hazard identification and risk assessment, legal compliance, emergency preparedness, worker consultation, incident investigation, and the principles and practice of auditing a management system. These are the foundations of every health and safety system, including ISO 45001, which kept the large majority of OHSAS 18001's substance. This course remains a solid, accessible entry into health and safety auditing; for the current standard's specific requirements, my ISO 45001 course is the companion.
The course has three parts:
The concept of health and safety — its history and its present, what led to its development, and its importance in the modern world
The requirements of OHSAS 18001, in detail — the intent of each requirement and what an organization is expected to do for conformity: hazard identification and risk assessment; controls to mitigate health and safety risks; legal requirements and the evaluation of compliance; the health and safety policy and objectives; emergency preparedness and response; competence and awareness; participation and consultation of workers; control of documents and records; internal audits; incident investigation; and management review
Management system auditing — the concepts every auditor needs: types of audits, audit principles, objectives, scope and criteria, audit documents, nonconformities, and the audit report
Who this course is for
Beginners looking for an accessible entry into health and safety auditing
EHS officers, health and safety engineers and professionals dealing with health and safety day to day
