Welcome,

2 samples are available in this link.

In future, please refrain from multiple post all over the forum. It does not help. Just start a thread and post whatever questions and soon some users will respond to your post. Also bear in mind that the US time is about 12 hours behind Singapore and that the Cove is busiest during the US day hours.

Your multiple posts will be deleted except the one you started.

I recommend against a canned checklist like you want because allyou're ever going to accomplish is finding out if people know the policy and if there is a procedure for something.

To effectively "audit" you need to do just that, audit, and not use some yes-no-n/a checklist.

You need to audit how you have designed your system to meet the requirements of 18001 and whether or not you have effectively done so and get beyond the basic shall's.

If you must have a checklist then just simply turn the requirements into questions.."Does the Policy have....?", Have roles, responsibilities.....?", "Has the organization...?" and so forth. It's a no-brainer.

I agree to some extent. Check Lists are valuable, in my opinion, as a guide of sorts. The important part is to Tailor the check list for your the specific company / facility. And as Randy said, use questions.

If your auditors are in-experienced you may wind up doing more harm than good with the result being an ineffective audit. Inexperienced auditors will have a tendency to just follow the checklist with blinders on and essentially place themsleves in a box not seeing or paying attention to anything that is not on the checklist or happening around them.

Hi,

I am new to the site and this is my first response to a posting.

Audit checklists can add value by creating a framework for auditors to operate within, they are a tool and not the final solution, however they can help an auditor stay within a defined "scope" of an audit. All craftsmen need good tools to do a good job.


I hope this helps? :bigwave:

Hi !

It's always possible to create a list of questions by adding "?" at the end of each requirement expressed by any OHSMS (british, american, etc... or international). But I think this way certainly don't constitute a correct way to audit a compagny regarding its OHSMS.

But we can learn methods and techniques of audit, it's what I made as other persons here.

Bye.

I just realised I necro'ed an older thread so I will post this here as well.

Since I have just made my own form of checklist I thought to present my approach for your (as a community) opinions.

Instead of using a checklist prepared by others I used 18001 and 18002. Whilst reading I created a table with "Requirement", "Intent", "Typical Input" and "Typical Ouput" for each section. The only missing section thus is "Process" which throughout the document represents the bulk of 18002.

This made a short document with all the important points, but by preparing it myself the "Process" aspect is committed to memory. At a later date I shortened this even further to be "Requirement" and "Typical output" only.

I found this provided a good foundation for creating a sort of 'progress' chart for implementation and/or audit. The important part is when in doubt, return to the actual document itself and check.

There is significant danger of ticking boxes but achieving nothing if you produce 'correct' typical outputs without realising the "intent".

With ISO 9001 it is easy to form a checklist, as the consequences is receiveing a ncr and having time to correct it, however in our experience with internally auditing OCHS 18000 it is best to audit regulation by regulation as the consequences could be death or your organization being stopped til compliance is obtained.

We take the Act and determine if we are compliant 100% , if between 0 & 99, we don't comply.
