Safety Auditor Fundamentals
Description
This one-day course replaces the previous Safety Auditor Training and is designed for individuals who will be evaluating the effectiveness of a company’s Safety & Health Management Program against COR® and SECOR™ standards. With companies now conducting internal audits using AuditSoft, this training introduces the process of obtaining access to the tool and completing the required AuditSoft-specific training.
