What is the ISO 45001 Lead Auditor Course?

The ISO 45001:2018 Lead Auditor Course is a globally recognized program dedicated to the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) standard. Its primary aim is to provide organizations with the tools necessary to create and maintain a safe and healthy work environment, enhancing their ability to effectively manage occupational health and safety risks. This standard is grounded in essential principles, including proactive hazard identification, employee participation, and a commitment to continuous improvement in health and safety practices. The significance of each principle may vary between organizations and can adapt over time to address emerging safety challenges.
