About this ISO 45001 Audit Checklist
An essential part of the ISO 45001 OHS management systems standard is that an organization conducts internal ISO 45001 gap analysis audits at planned intervals. The purpose of these audits is to identify gaps and provide information as to whether the OHS management system conforms to the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard, its own OHS system, policy, objectives and whether the system is effectively implemented and maintained.
This ISO 45001 audit checklist covers all the requirements of the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standard, as outlined below:
- ISO 45001 Section 4. Context of the Organization
- ISO 45001 Section 5. Leadership and Worker Participation
- ISO 45001 Section 6. Planning
- ISO 45001 Section 7. Support
- ISO 45001 Section 8. Operation
- ISO 45001 Section 9. Performance Evaluation
- ISO 45001 Section 10. Improvement
The ISO 45001 audit checklist rating system is graded from conformance to non-conformance, to convey a concise and consistent methodology for scoring each ISO 45001 audit criteria. There are also provisions within the ISO 45001 audit checklist for the identification of opportunities for improvement, that can effectively contribute to the essential continual improvement processes of the ISO 45001 OH&S management systems standard.
Once this audit checklist is completed, it will detail all the findings, documents provided and issues observed, subsequently allowing the monitoring and review of any corrective actions that are needed.
Conducting Internal ISO 45001 Audits
Under section 9.2 of the ISO 45001 standard an organization must conduct internal audits to provide information on whether the organization conforms:
- To its own requirements of its OHS management system.
- The requirements of international standard ISO 45001 and whether the system is effectively implemented and maintained.
Internal audits should be conducted at planned intervals to determine the status and importance of each process that comprises of the OHS management system. The internal audit frequency should be based upon process performance trends, results from previous audits, rates of non-conformity, incidents, injuries and corrective actions. Once completed an internal audit report can also serve as ‘retained documented information’ as evidence of effective implementation of an audit program and compliance obligations.
The ISO 45001 Audit Checklist’s Methodology.
The ISO 45001 audit checklist can be used to assess an organization’s compliance with the ISO 45001 standard at any stage of the implementation process, from initial planning to ongoing maintenance. The checklist is divided into all the sections that correspond to the clauses of the ISO 45001 standard, and each section includes a list of the specific requirements that must be met in order for the organization to be compliant.
The internal audit results are the critical inputs that will help assess the effectiveness of a health and safety management system. The audit findings shall enable any required corrective actions to the ISO 45001 system and associated internal OHS audit processes to be communicated to the relevant parties. When undertaking internal audits, the auditor(s) should use risk-based thinking and the notion of continual improvement as the main drivers.
