What is ISO 45001 Compliance Audit Checklist?

The ISO 45001 audit checklist provides everything a person needs to establish their own internal audit process. ISO 45001 audit checklist presents the requirements of ISO 45001:2018 as questions and can be used as an effective tool for implementing the effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System and for self-assessment of the system.

Our consultants use the ISO 45001 audit checklist during the QMS certification process, to check that you are compliant with the Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Standard.

Full compliance is necessary before we can award your certificate. The audit checklist covers the seven main areas of the ISO 45001 Standard, and asks questions such as:
