OHSAS 18001 is still using by  some companies who took it before publishing 45001 standard in March 2018. So, though some organization still using18001 certificate but after 2021 it will be expired.

Worldwide workers health is in great risk. Specially who work in 3D (Dirty, Dangerous and Difficult) industries their health safety issue is in dangerous position. Decreasing humanity from the society, too much profit minded attitude among the factory owners group, negligence and corruption of respecting agents of government are the major causes of this health  risk of workers.

ISO 45001 consultant can help those industries who are interested to implement this standard in their factories or work places. Specially they can help to reduce air pollution, sound pollution by providing guidelines for the factory management.

In many places where PPE and safety shoes are necessary but due to negligence  of factory management that are not provided. So, workers may  lose toe or leg from accident though it can be avoided by a small investment.

In some cases workers do not wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) due to lack of awareness about health safety. In this regard awareness training on 45001 can be provided to the workers to reduce the risk from the workers. ISO 45001 consultant can provide this training.

ISO Internal Auditors Training

ISO Internal auditors training is necessary for ISO Certification and maintenance of your  ISO Certificates. It is one of the mandatory things. In the clause number 9.2 of ISO 9001:2015 standard It is explained clearly to do internal audit.

ISO Internal audit is mandatory for all standards certification. If you want to check how ISO Standard’s requirements have been implemented in your company then you need to monitor it i.e you should check it. Internal audit is one of the effective tools to monitor the implementation status of ISO standard’s requirement.

But the problem is many companies even after obtaining ISO Certificate they do not do internal audit properly or according to the internal audit performing SOP. That’s why they stay behind to check the processes performances. If you think you are so busy or if you have no scope to do the Internal audit then you can hire an ISO Consultant to perform ISO internal audit.

AAS provides internal audit training to all of its clients before certification just for a little fee. Sometimes it is provided free of cost. See the read the below pdf file to know about our internal audit training program.
