Work at height offshore requires suitable planning and competent specialist judgement. An ISO 45001 audit can examine how responsibilities and controls are managed; it cannot determine the cause of a named death from an unsourced article.
Questions to follow in an audit
- Who decides which assessments and authorisations are needed?
- How are interfaces between contractor teams coordinated?
- How are concerns and changes to the task escalated?
Connect the records with practice
Trace a planned task through competent assessment, authorisation, worker briefing and review of the work actually carried out.
These are illustrative audit trails, not findings about a named organisation, technical instructions or a guarantee of a particular result. The appropriate evidence depends on the activities, risks and agreed scope. The organisation remains responsible for its operations and legal obligations.
