Before enrolling in the ISO 45001:2018 Internal Auditor Training Course, it's essential to have a foundational understanding of key OH&S management concepts. This knowledge will not only help you fully engage in the training but also ensure success in passing the course assessments.
Understanding OH&S Principles
You should be familiar with Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management principles. This includes knowledge of how to develop and implement an OH&S management system to protect employees, visitors, and other stakeholders. A key element is understanding the purpose of sustainable development in health and safety, where the long-term well-being of all parties is prioritized.
Initial Review and Risk Evaluation
A thorough grasp of how to conduct an initial review is required. This review sets the foundation for an effective OH&S management system. You must be capable of evaluating workplace risks and hazards in both normal and emergency conditions. This includes risks to employees, external visitors, and vulnerable individuals who may be present in or around the workplace.
Legal Compliance
It is crucial to be aware of OH&S legislation and its role within the management system. Compliance with these laws ensures that businesses not only meet safety standards but also avoid legal repercussions. Understanding these regulations will help you during the auditing process, where compliance assessments are key.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation
A strong understanding of risk assessment methods is necessary. This includes how to identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks in workplace operations. You will need to be proficient in using tools like risk assessments and method statements to help improve safety procedures and reduce hazards.
Why These Prerequisites Are Important
Having prior knowledge of these areas will enable you to efficiently plan and conduct audits, which are key aspects of the training. Additionally, this foundational understanding will help you excel in the final examination and assessments, ultimately leading to certification as an internal auditor for ISO 45001:2018.
