IOSH HSE Auditing: A Management Systems Approach Course
Introduction:
This course is unique worldwide as the only externally approved integrated management systems auditing program that combines ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards and is completed within a one-week timeframe. It is designed for individuals seeking external accreditation as auditors and lead auditors, provided they have the necessary practical experience.
Participants in this course will engage in a team-based approach, working as internal auditors to evaluate the health, safety, and environmental management system (HSE-MS) of GENergy Limited. GENergy Limited serves as a fictitious but highly realistic case study, representing the distribution department of an integrated oil company. The course emphasizes the principles of corporate responsibility for risk management and business control, as well as the theory and practice of modern risk-based auditing.
By taking this course, participants will gain valuable insights into integrated management systems auditing, specifically focusing on ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards. The program equips individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively assess and evaluate HSE-MS in real-world scenarios. The emphasis on risk management and modern auditing practices ensures that participants develop a comprehensive understanding of corporate responsibility and effective business control measures.

Who Should Attend?
The course introduces new and experienced auditors to a dynamic risk-based approach for assessing the effectiveness of any HSE-MS, including those based upon ISO 14001 and/ or OHSAS 18001. It has also proven extremely beneficial for preparing technically competent line managers and supervisors for a team assignment auditing an HSE-MS in any environment.
Course Outlines:

Interviewees provide documents for the auditors to review, analyze, and use as they would in a real audit. The culmination of the class is a presentation to the senior management of the company.
