Audit scenarios
The purpose of these scenarios is to enable you to apply your understanding of ISO
45001:2018 to an audit situation, and show how you would determine conformity or
nonconformity.
Review all scenarios carefully and then answer the questions posed:
Scenario 1
As an auditor, upon review of internal audit documented information, you find the following
situation: The three preceding internal audits of the truck loading facility had identified
nonconformities (N/C’s) where the harnesses used by employees, and contract truck drivers,
for work on top of vehicles were found to be in need of replacement. Although on paper the
N/C’s had been corrected by management, you check the area and find the same situation
exists.
Scenario is ok: Y/N Nonconformity: Y/N
(I.e. do you have any concerns? If not, then move immediately onto the next scenario)
Scenario 3
At a major gas plant several contractors are used during planned maintenance outages.
Two contractors have been on site for several months of every year since the plant came on
line. The contractors’ employees have all attended a 3-hour safety awareness-training
program. One contractor, a construction organization, has not conducted a risk assessment
on the work of its employees on site, the Gas Plant Safety manager was in ignorance of this
fact, and had not performed his own risk assessment on the activities.
Scenario is ok: Y/N Nonconformity: Y/N
(I.e. do you have any concerns? If not, then move immediately onto the next scenario)
Scenario 5
During an OH&S MS documentation review at the Gas plant, the auditor reviewed the
structure and responsibilities of the organization. He noted that the OH&S Manager was
assigned the responsibility and authority for 5.3 a) and b). However, during the audit the
auditor realized that the OH&S Manager had delegated responsibilities for the administration
of the OH&S MS to a recently hired safety officer.
Scenario is ok: Y/N Nonconformity: N- No, it is not
