ISO 45001 Internal Auditor Training
About This Course
The ISO 45001 OHSMS Internal Auditor Training course is designed to equip learners with the competencies required to plan, conduct, report, and follow up on internal audits for occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) in accordance with ISO 45001 standards. Learners will gain practical knowledge in managing workplace safety and health (WSH) activities, interpreting performance indicators, and applying audit techniques to assess legal compliance and system effectiveness. Emphasis is placed on real-world case scenarios, hands-on tools, and industry templates to facilitate operational control and performance monitoring.
Participants will develop critical skills to evaluate and improve organizational WSH practices, including the ability to recommend system enhancements aligned with national standards and codes of practice. The course builds capabilities in legal compliance auditing, stakeholder communication, and performance review — all of which are essential for internal auditors, safety professionals, and compliance officers. These competencies are vital for supporting organizational risk management, reducing workplace incidents, and strengthening occupational health strategies.
This training is best suited for intermediate-level learners with a foundational understanding of WSH or prior experience in management systems. It is ideal for safety practitioners, internal auditors, supervisors, or compliance managers who are involved in monitoring safety practices or conducting internal audits. Whether you're upgrading your skills or preparing for a formal auditing role, this course provides structured, standards-based knowledge to enhance your effectiveness and impact in the workplace.
