Topic #: 1
You are conducting a Stage 2 certification audit to ISO 45001 at an adventure park in the Scottish Highlands. The park offers treetop walks, zip-line rides, walking trails, and horse-riding trips. The park is open to adults and children of any age. You are particularly interested in compliance with legal requirements and interview the Park Manager.
You: How do you evaluate the risks to participants that the various activities present?
Park Manager: Our risks are covered by insurance, and we operate under health and safety legislation that requires frequent checks of all our facilities. For example, we trust staff to check all our harnesses every morning.
You: Are you required to have an independent inspection carried out of zip lines, for example?
Park Manager: Yes, our insurance company employs a reputable body to do that sort of thing.
You: Can you show me a copy of the latest inspection report? Park Manager: I'd need to get that from the insurance organisation. I have the initial one when we opened eight years ago.
You examine the inspection report, which takes the form of a checklist that does not identify individual zip lines, treetop platforms, harnesses, or rope ladders. It is dated eight years previously and has a scribbled signature with no other identification of the inspection engineer. Select the two statements for which there is evidence of a nonconformity to ISO 45001.
Select two statements.

Suggested Answer: A,C Vote an answer
ISO 45001 requires organizations to identify and maintain documentation to demonstrate compliance with legal and other requirements (Clause 7.5 and Clause 9.1.2). It also requires the evaluation and control of outsourced processes (Clause 8.1.4.3).
Analysis of Options:
A . The park did not have the required documentation to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements:
Correct. The outdated and incomplete inspection report (8 years old, lacking detailed identification) fails to demonstrate compliance with health and safety legislation.
B . The organization did not monitor the safety checks by staff of equipment:
Incorrect. While there is a potential gap in monitoring, the evidence provided does not directly indicate a lack of monitoring of staff checks.
C . The inspection organization employed by the insurance organization was not evaluated:
Correct. ISO 45001 requires the organization to evaluate outsourced services, including those provided by the inspection body, to ensure their adequacy.
D . The park relied on the insurance organization to evaluate its OHS risks:
Incorrect. Reliance on external evaluations may not constitute a nonconformity if risks are properly managed, but there is no evidence provided for noncompliance here.
E . Testing to determine the safe loading of equipment was not carried out:
Incorrect. While load testing is crucial, there is no evidence presented to confirm this specific issue as a nonconformity.
ISO Reference:
Clause 7.5: Control of documented information.
Clause 8.1.4.3: Control of outsourced processes.
Clause 9.1.2: Evaluation of compliance.
