An audit checklist can be a useful tool for auditors to ensure that all the necessary requirements of the ISO 45001:2018 standard have been addressed during the audit. Here is a sample checklist for an ISO 45001:2018 audit:
1. Context of the organization · Has the organization identified and documented its internal and external context? · Has the organization identified and documented its interested parties and their relevant needs and expectations? · Has the organization identified and documented the scope of the OH&S management system? 2. Leadership and worker participation · Has top management demonstrated leadership and commitment to the OH&S management system? · Have workers been involved in the management of OH&S risks? · Has the organization established an OH&S policy and communicated it to all relevant parties? 3. Planning · Has the organization established OH&S objectives and plans to achieve them? · Has the organization identified and assessed OH&S risks and opportunities? · Has the organization established processes for hazard identification, risk assessment, and control? 4. Support · Does the organization have adequate resources and support for the OH&S management system? · Are workers competent and trained in relevant OH&S matters? · Are adequate communication channels in place to support the OH&S management system? 5. Operation · Are processes in place for hazard identification, risk assessment, and control? · Are emergency preparedness and response procedures established and tested? · Are processes in place to manage changes to the ISO 45001:2018 OH&S management system? 6. Performance evaluation · Are monitoring and measurement processes in place for OH&S performance? · Are internal audits and management reviews conducted at planned intervals? · Is the effectiveness of the OH&S management system evaluated on a regular basis? 7. Improvement · Are nonconformities identified and addressed in a timely manner? · Are corrective actions taken to eliminate the causes of nonconformities? · Are continual improvements made to the OH&S management system based on performance evaluations and feedback?
It's important to note that this is just a sample checklist and that the auditor may need to modify it to suit the specific context of the organization being audited. Additionally, the checklist is not a substitute for the auditor's professional judgment, experience, and knowledge of the standard.
