We are preparing now for ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 certification and we are conducting the internal audits now, does marketing and sales operations should be involved in the internal audit cycle?
If yes, what are the references that I can conduct my audit based on it? And what are the type of questions that should be asked?
Answer:
If the marketing and sales departments are part of the scope of your implementation of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, you should definitely audit them. Unlike ISO 9001 where you have specific requirements that relate to these requirements, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 have more general requirements that can apply to any process or department.
First thing to be audited is whether the identification and evaluation of environmental aspects and occupational health and safety hazards is conducted for these processes and then whether the operational controls for environmental protection and occupational health and safety are implemented.
