Question 1

During a second-party audit at a sawmill, you find that the OHSMS Manager conducted the hazard identification process. In the risk assessment report, hazards were listed as physical hazards, chemical hazards, biological hazards and psychosocial hazards, with the hazards categories as low medium and high to be addressed. The OHSMS Manager did not have an action plan for low and medium risks, saying that they ignored those He stated that they brought in a health and safety consultant to advise on treatment for the high risks. When interviewing the OHSMS Manager, the auditor presents a nonconformity relating to potential hazards In the factory If the dust extraction system broke down. The OHSMS Manager said that. If that happened, the agreed planned action is that workers would put masks on. Select one of the options for how the auditorshould respond to this statement.

  1. Option A:

    Advise that the factory should cease its operations It the dust extraction equipment malfunctioned.

  2. Option B:

     Ask the OH5MS Manager to confirm that this action meets regulatory requirements for air purity.

  3. Option C:

    Seek evidence that the response action is both Implemented and effective. 

  4. Option D:

    Suggest that they should increase their maintenance checks.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

The auditor should assess whether the organization's planned action (using masks in case of dust extraction failure) is both implemented and effective. This aligns with ISO 45001 requirements to ensure that control measures are functional and meet the intended objectives. Clause 8.1.2 (Hierarchy of Controls): The use of PPE, such as masks, is considered a last resort in the hierarchy of controls. The organization must demonstrate that the measure is: Implemented (e.g., PPE is available and workers are trained to use it). Effective (e.g., masks provide adequate protection against dust). Analysis of Options: A . Advise that the factory should cease operations if the dust extraction equipment malfunctioned. While ceasing operations may be a necessary control in extreme situations, it is not a practical or realistic recommendation unless a high-risk scenario cannot be otherwise managed. B . Ask the OHSMS Manager to confirm regulatory compliance. Regulatory compliance is important but does not fully address the requirement to ensure the action is effective. C . Seek evidence that the response action is both implemented and effective. This is the most appropriate response. The auditor must verify implementation and effectiveness to determine conformity. D . Suggest increasing maintenance checks. Maintenance is important for preventing equipment breakdowns, but this option does not address the immediate audit finding about the adequacy of response actions. ISO Reference: Clause 8.1.2: Emphasizes applying the hierarchy of controls effectively. Clause 9.1.1: Requires monitoring and measuring controls to ensure effectiveness.

Question 2 (choose 4)

You are an audit team leader conducting a Stage 2 audit of a Financial Services Provider. You are currently interviewing the organisation's Risk and Compliance Officer, who appears very competent when it comes to the management of business risks. As the Risk and Compliance Officer, she is also identified as having lead responsibility for the management of OH&S risk, and you are now seeking evidence that she understands the requirements relating to risk that are contained within ISO 45001. During your conversation, she makes the following six statements about risk within an ISO 45001-based OHSMS. Which four of his statements are correct?

  1. Option A:

    The organisation must attempt to identify and address every risk it faces.

  2. Option B:

    The effect of uncertainty (i.e. risk) can result in positive outcomes as well as negative ones.

  3. Option C:

    Although organisations are required to carry out risk management, the method by which they do so is up to them.

  4. Option D:

    Risk assessment is an activity that must be carried out by top management.

  5. Option E:

    The organisation is required to assess risks arising from OH&S hazards.

  6. Option F:

    Risk is often expressed as a combination of likelihood and impact.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B, C, E, F

Analysis of Options:

A. The organisation must attempt to identify and address every risk it faces: Incorrect. ISO 45001 focuses on OH&S risks and not every risk faced by the organization.

B. The effect of uncertainty (i.e. risk) can result in positive outcomes as well as negative ones: Correct. Clause 3.20 defines risk as the 'effect of uncertainty,' which may result in positive or negative outcomes.

C. Although organisations are required to carry out risk management, the method by which they do so is up to them: Correct. ISO 45001 does not prescribe specific risk management methods, leaving the organization to choose the approach that best suits its context (Clause 6.1.2).

D. Risk assessment is an activity that must be carried out by top management: Incorrect. Risk assessment can involve workers and other personnel; it is not limited to top management.

E. The organisation is required to assess risks arising from OH&S hazards: Correct. Clause 6.1.2.2 requires organizations to assess OH&S risks associated with hazards.

F. Risk is often expressed as a combination of likelihood and impact: Correct. This is a common way to express risk, aligned with Clause 6.1.2.
