This four-day intensive course equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to plan, conduct, report, and follow up safety audits of health, safety, environmental, and quality (SHEQ) systems. It covers auditor ethics and standards, audit program, design, pre-audit, on-site, and post-audit activities, hazard identification and risk assessment, safety culture evaluation, management system assessment, and corrective action tracking. Participants will engage in lectures, workshops, case studies, and practical exercises to ensure they can apply auditing techniques in real organizational settings.

By the end of this course, participants will learn to:

• Explain the role and responsibilities of a safety auditor, including auditor ethics and standards of conduct.
• Understand key audit principles, methodologies (incl. risk-based auditing), and the audit life-cycle: planning, conducting, reporting, follow-up.
• Assess and evaluate a SHEQ management system (safety, health, environment & quality) against relevant standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Identify hazards, assess risks (job hazard analysis, change analysis, process hazard analysis, etc), and incorporate this into audit findings.
• Conduct on-site inspections and auditing activities: gathering evidence, interviewing, observation, documentation review, and closing meetings.
• Report audit findings: non-conformities, observations, corrective actions; write audit reports and follow up on action plans.
• Evaluate and improve organizational safety culture and management of contractors, emergency planning, and management of change.
