What is Phoenix's ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Training?

Health and safety Audits are thorough assessments of an organisation’s health and safety systems and policies, in relation to legislation and industry standards. They’re a valuable tool for organisations that can help evaluate and improve their health and safety practices. Because of this, many organisations spend resources on bringing in qualified safety auditors to conduct audits, helping them keep pace in the ever-evolving safety industry.

Phoenix’s ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Course trains delegates to oversee, manage and conduct an audit of any workplace using the ISO 45001 safety management system. This eliminates the need to bring in external auditors and allows you to carry out audits whenever suits your organisation best. Frequent safety audits demonstrate your organisations commitment to high safety standards and working conditions, strengthening your relationship with employees and clients alike.
