The ISO 45001 (Occupational health and safety) management system therefore fits well with the ISO management system standards (viz. to Viz. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 etcetera) which are internationally recognized and are globally accepted and a being followed by a number of industries and sectors. It will explicitly facilitate the efforts of companies to bring together all relevant aspects in the field of quality OH&S and environmental protection.

Identify two ways in which an auditor can verify that agreed corrective actions have been effectively implemented. Ans: 1)      Spot check: Spot Check on the work site is used for random observations of performance or reviews of records. Spot checks provide immediate but limited feedback. An example is a spot-check of batch records to ensure that the pH step was performed correctly after training on the new procedure. 2)     Monitoring: It is used for real-time observations over a defined period. An example of monitoring is real-time observation to verify that changes to operator-owning practices were implemented. Sampling is used for observations of variables or attributes, per defined sampling plan. An example of sampling a statistical sample randomly drawn from lot XYZ to confirm that a defect has been removed after implementing a process improvement.
