Training on Quality, Environmental, Health and Safety Auditing (QEHS Auditing)
Course Overview
Organizations operating in complex regulatory environments must ensure compliance, efficiency, and continuous improvement across quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety systems. QEHS auditing provides a structured approach to evaluating and improving integrated management systems aligned with international standards.
This course delivers a comprehensive understanding of Quality, Environmental, Health and Safety (QEHS) auditing, focusing on the integration of ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems). Participants will learn how to assess organizational processes against these standards to ensure compliance, performance, and sustainability.
The program covers the full audit lifecycle, including audit planning, execution, reporting, and follow-up, in accordance with ISO 19011 guidelines for auditing management systems. Participants will develop practical skills in conducting internal and external audits, identifying non-conformities, and recommending corrective and preventive actions.
Emphasis is placed on risk-based auditing and continuous improvement, enabling participants to evaluate operational risks, environmental impacts, and workplace safety hazards. The course also strengthens competencies in audit communication, stakeholder engagement, and evidence-based reporting to support informed decision-making.
Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, participants will gain the expertise required to implement effective QEHS audit programs, enhance compliance, and drive operational excellence across integrated management systems.
