ISO 45001 Lead Implementer Training Course

Overview
Most 45001 implementations produce a system that satisfies a certification body and leaves the work unchanged. The clauses are not the problem. The usual failures are a context and risk assessment copied from a template, worker participation that means a noticeboard, and objectives nobody is accountable for. This week implements the standard clause by clause, with the emphasis on the parts that are hardest to fake: leadership, participation, hazard identification done with the people exposed, and an internal audit that finds something. Delegates build the system for their own organisation.
Who should attend
HSE managers and advisers implementing or improving a 45001 system, management representatives and system coordinators, and the internal auditors who will audit it.
What you will be able to do
- Establish context, interested parties and scope in terms specific to the organisation.
- Identify hazards and assess risk with the workers exposed to them.
- Produce the documented information the standard requires, and no more.
- Set objectives with an owner, a measure and a date.
- Run an internal audit and a management review that produce decisions.
How it is taught
Short input, then work, across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each. Exercises run on situations delegates bring rather than on a case study written for a different organisation. Cohorts are capped so that everybody is asked something.
Available as classroom, live online, in house.
Programme outline
Day 1
Context and scope
- Internal and external issues, specific rather than generic

Day 3
Planning
- Hazard identification with the people exposed

- Planning a change before it is implemented
Day 4
Support and operation
- Competence, awareness, and the records behind them
- Documented information, and how much is actually required
- Operational control and the hierarchy of controls
- Contractors, procurement and emergency preparedness
Day 5
Checking and improving
- Monitoring and measurement that informs a decision
- An internal audit that finds something

What you leave with
- A gap analysis of the delegate's organisation against the clauses.
- An implementation plan with owners and sequence.

Certificate
A GATI certificate recording what was attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended. Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record.
It records participation. and GATI does not claim one it does not hold.
