September 2026 Executive Roundtable
External Auditors’ Perspective: What COR & ISO 45001 Auditors Really Look For
About the Event
This interactive session will bring together health and safety leaders, professionals, and organizations for a candid discussion with experienced COR External Auditors and ISO 45001 Lead Auditors.
While certification requirements are clearly documented, many organizations still struggle with understanding what auditors expect to see when evaluating the effectiveness, implementation, and sustainability of a safety management system.
What You'll Learn
- What auditors look for beyond documented procedures
- Demonstrating effective implementation and continual improvement
- Common audit findings and recurring gaps
- Documentation and evidence expectations
- Leadership engagement and worker participation
- Maintaining long-term compliance and sustainability
- Use of Safety Management Software

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions directly and gain practical insights from auditors who assess organizations every day.
