Auditor Questions Allowed

When preparing for an audit of the OHSMS it is important to realize that the management system can not simply meet the requirements of ISO 45001, it also needs to incorporate legal and other requirements of interested parties which is why the standard asks that you identify these as part of clause 4.2. What this means is that during an audit you are not asking questions about the standard, since people in the organization may not know what the standard says, but rather questions about the process this is implemented which will include all requirements including ISO 45001.

This means what you need to do is to review the process in place to see what questions you need to ask to assess if the process is implemented as planned. If people are doing the process as planned, and the process meets the requirements of ISO 45001 and the needs and expectations of interested parties, then you are assessing if the requirements of the process are met in your audit.
