Safety and environmental regulation is becoming as demanding as quality, and most organisations now hold all three certifications. Auditing them separately means three audit programmes, three sets of paperwork and three interruptions to the same people doing the same work.
This three-day course covers the requirements of the quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management systems, and gives the knowledge and skills to conduct a combined internal audit across all three. It provides guidance and practical experience in planning, executing, reporting on and following up an integrated audit.
The Standards
Quality management, and the processes that deliver consistent output.
Environmental management, aspects, impacts and compliance obligations.
Occupational health and safety, hazards, risk and worker participation.
Why combine them: a combined internal audit evaluates multiple management systems together in a single audit process. It saves time, improves coordination and gives a clearer view of overall business process effectiveness than three separate audits ever will.
Learning Outcomes
The Audit Cycle
Who Should Attend
Particularly useful for: auditors already qualified in one of the three standards who now need to cover all three, which is the most common route into integrated auditing.
Before You Begin
Note: basic knowledge of the three standards is recommended rather than required, and helps participants get more from the integrated auditing concepts and the practical audit activities.
