Practitioner IOSH Courses Environmental

This IOSH accredited integrated management systems (IMS) internal auditor course combines the disciplines of quality, environmental and health & safety management auditing, based on the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards. Whilst accredited auditing courses are available for single discipline auditors, integrated management systems auditing courses mostly do not award a certificate giving any recognition from a recognised body. This course is a four-day intensive and interactive training programme aimed at developing practical and proficient auditing skills with an audit simulation on the final day.  Designed for those who need to be able to apply recognised principles and techniques of effective management system auditing and to fast-track their development to be able to conduct effective audits of their integrated management system. Internal auditors need to understand their role and responsibilities and be sufficiently competent in evaluating the IMS effectively. The modern management systems auditor needs to be able to audit processes with an emphasis on risk-based thinking to ensure the integrated management system (IMS) continues to meet its objectives. By the end of the course delegates will be well-equipped to contribute to continual improvement of system and performance.Duration4 days, 8.30 – 17.15Who should attend?This accredited course is essential for those who are responsible for undertaking internal integrated management system audits based on the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards.
