Comprehensive Detailed Explanation along with All ISO 45001 Audit Reference
Clause 9.1.2 of ISO 45001:2018 outlines the need for organizations to evaluate compliance with applicable legal and other requirements as part of their OH&S management system.
Analysis of Options:
A . The organization must evaluate its compliance status at least once a year: The standard does not prescribe a specific frequency but states that evaluations must be conducted at planned intervals.
B . 'Other requirements' include requirements that the organization has chosen to comply with: Correct. Other requirements may include voluntary standards, industry codes, or contractual obligations.
C . A management review is required in all instances where one or more legal requirements are not being met: This is not true. Management reviews address compliance but are not mandated for every noncompliance.
D . Every member of an audit team must have a detailed understanding of the legal requirements for the sector and type of organization they are auditing: Not true. Auditors must have general competency but can rely on subject-matter experts for legal specifics.
E . If the organization is failing to address a legal requirement relating to another discipline (e.g., Environmental management), this cannot be raised in the audit: Not true. If the legal noncompliance impacts OH&S, it can be raised.
F . The organization cannot outsource its process for evaluating compliance: The organization can outsource evaluation but retains accountability.
G. The organization is required to establish a process for evaluating compliance: Correct. Clause 9.1.2 requires a process for compliance evaluation.
H . The organization is required to evaluate its compliance status with OH&S legal and other requirements: Correct. Clause 9.1.2 explicitly states this requirement.

Showitoff is an organisation spcialising in the design and production of wall decorating material for the domestic market. During an ISO 45001 certification audit of the site, the auditor comes across an open, walled area just outside the maintenance department. It contains various scraps of wood and metal as well as several rusty components. Several heavy concrete beams are learning against a thin brick wall in which cracks are visible. When asked about it, the OHS Manager states that he presume that the material come from maintenance work, so it is the Maintenance Manager's responsibility.
The auditor interviews the Maintenance Manager in his department. He asks about the area outside and is told that it contains some excess materials that the Manager likes to keep in case they come in handy at some stage. The auditor points out that the wall appears to be unstable collapse at any moment. The Maintenance Manager is not aware of such a situation.
Which three statement represent good audit practice?
Comprehensive Detailed Explanation along with All ISO 45001 Audit Reference
Clause 6.1.2 of ISO 45001:2018 emphasizes the identification of hazards and assessment of risks, and Clause 5.4 highlights the importance of consultation and communication among roles. The auditor's role includes verifying conformity to these clauses through evidence gathering and observation.
Analysis of Options:
A . The auditor should advise the organization to get rid of the walled area. This is outside the scope of an auditor's role, which is to observe and report findings, not to dictate specific actions.
B . The auditor should ask the Maintenance Manager to conduct a safety survey. While safety surveys are useful, asking the Maintenance Manager to conduct one is not the auditor's responsibility.
C . The auditor should check the lines of communication between the OHS Manager and Maintenance Manager. This aligns with ISO 45001:2018, Clause 5.4, as communication gaps may have contributed to the situation.
D . The auditor should check whether the organization has identified the safety hazards associated with the walled area. Clause 6.1.2 requires hazard identification. The auditor must determine whether this has been done.
E. The auditor should consider surveying more areas of the site for other potentially unsafe situations. Broadening the audit scope to identify additional risks is a good practice in line with Clause 9.2.2.
F . The auditor should demand that the Maintenance Manager deals with the wall. Demanding action is not within the auditor's authority. The auditor should raise findings instead.
G . The auditor should raise a nonconformity against ISO 45001. While this may be appropriate depending on evidence, raising a nonconformity is not a replacement for good audit practices.
H . The auditor should refer the organization to health and safety authorities. This step is extreme and should only occur if there is an imminent danger and no action is being taken.

Clause 6.1.2: Hazard identification and risk assessment.
Clause 5.4: Worker consultation and participation.
Clause 9.2.2: Internal audit program and execution.
You are in the closing meeting of a second-party audit to ISO 45001. Which three of the following topics are most likely to come for discussion?
The closing meeting of a second-party audit focuses on the findings, conformance to agreed requirements, and areas for improvement. ISO 19011:2018 provides guidance on closing meetings, stating that the results of the audit, including conformity with criteria, must be reviewed and agreed upon.
Analysis of Options:
A . The names and email addresses of attendees at the closing meeting: Irrelevant. Attendance details are not part of the audit discussion.
B . The extent of the auditee's documented information system: While relevant during the audit, it is not typically a focus in the closing meeting.
C . The extent to which the auditee is conforming to OH&S requirements in supply contracts: Correct. Second-party audits often assess compliance with contractual requirements.
D . The extent to which the auditee conforms to ISO 45001 requirements: Correct. The core purpose of the audit is to evaluate conformity to ISO 45001.
E . The nature of the trading relationship between the organizations: Correct. The trading relationship often shapes the scope and context of second-party audits.
F . Whether the audit has correctly performed in current contracts with other customers: Irrelevant. The focus is on the specific audit, not contracts with other customers.
G. Whether the work instructions for a specific OH&S process are focused on efficiency: Irrelevant. Efficiency is not the primary focus of an OH&S audit.

You are conducting an ISO 45001 audit of Widgets Inc.., an organization manufacturing machine parts for the aerospace industry, You find a short entry in the incident report file connecting a machine operator who suffered minor injury to his face four weeks ago when a small ribbon of metal hit him while operating his machine.
The subsequent investigation found that he was not wearing the required protective Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). He was subject to disciplinary action and warned that he would lose his job if it happened again.
Select two option of points of investigation which you would consider in order to determine conformity or nonconformity with clause 10.2 of ISO 45001.
Clause 10.2 of ISO 45001 requires organizations to investigate incidents, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
Analysis of Options:
A . Check whether corrective actions were taken. This directly relates to the requirement to implement corrective actions to address the identified risks and hazards. Failure to do so would indicate nonconformity.
B . Determine whether the Health and Safety Authority was notified. Notification is a legal requirement in certain jurisdictions, but it is not explicitly required under ISO 45001 unless the legal context demands it.
C . Establish whether the root cause was determined. Root cause analysis is fundamental for effective corrective action. Without this, corrective measures may not address the underlying problem.
D . Find out when the operator's machine was last subject to maintenance. While maintenance is important, it does not directly address the incident's nonconformity.
E . Find out whether the operator was sent to the hospital. Sending the operator to the hospital is a reactive step and not relevant to compliance with Clause 10.2.
F . Interview the operator about PPE usage. This is relevant but insufficient for determining compliance with Clause 10.2.

Clause 8.1.2: Hierarchy of controls and risk reduction.
An auditor of a manufacturer of plastic packaging products for the food industry found a nonconformity in an internal audit report raised against section 10.2 of ISO 45001 in Report IA202. The nonconformity (NC3) stated: "The level of reported health and safety incidents has increased by 9.7% over the last 12 months. This included an increase in reported accidents." Against this background, the third-party audit team found more than twenty minor nonconformities during the audit, which they agreed should be combined into one major nonconformity against clause 4.4 of ISO 45001. "The organisation has failed to demonstrate that it is maintaining and continually improving a health and safety management system." Select two options which would represent acceptable corrective actions for the nonconformity.
Clause 4.4 of ISO 45001 requires organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an OH&S management system. The corrective actions must address systemic issues, involve leadership commitment, and aim to foster a strong safety culture.
Analysis of Options:
A . Top management initiated a comprehensive review of internal and external issues: Correct. A review of internal and external issues aligns with Clause 4.1 and demonstrates leadership commitment.
B . Union representatives were invited to attend OH&S management meetings: Incorrect. While participation is valuable, it is not a systemic corrective action.
C . Top management developed and is leading a programme to promote an effective culture of support: Correct. Promoting a safety culture is a proactive measure and aligns with Clause 5.1 (Leadership).
D . Staff from departments with nonconformities received regular safety training during toolbox talks: Incorrect. While training addresses specific gaps, it does not address systemic issues.
E . External consultants conducted a gap analysis of the OHSMS: Incorrect. While helpful, this action does not demonstrate leadership or address systemic improvement.
F . OH&S champions were appointed in each department to report near misses and incidents: Incorrect. This is a good practice but does not directly address Clause 4.4's requirement for systemic improvement.

Clause 5.1: Leadership and commitment.
Clause 10.3: Continual improvement.
