Internal Auditing for Quality & Environmental Management Systems.pdf

Who is it for?

Managers and staff with responsibility for undertaking ISO9001 or ISO14001 internal auditing.

Description

All businesses that operate to the requirements of either ISO 9001 (Quality) or ISO 14001 (Environmental) Management Systems need to carry out an annual internal audit of the whole management system. This is to both retain external certification and ensure that you are operating a robust and effective system.

Your own staff can carry out these internal audits, but need to demonstrate their impartiality and competence.

At the end of this one-day course your colleague will be able to understand the importance of internal auditing, their specific responsibilities and how to report the results of the internal audit to both the management of the business and the external assessor.
