Select two options that are corrections.
You are auditing the purchasing process of Shelf-Fit, an organisation that designs, manufactures and installs interiors for retail stores. They always employ subcontractors for the installation work.
As an audit team member, you ask the Purchase Manager about the identification of health and safety hazards for contractors on site. Having previously reviewed the hazards list (HZD-21/11 Rev.3), you found that various health and safety hazards were listed but none were associated with contractors working on site.
When you ask about the use of contractors, the response is, " We know that contractors use chemicals, such as glues, paints and varnishes. We trust them since they know more than we do about safe handling of such issues " .
The auditor made the same enquiry to an accompanying member of the health and safety team and was told that chemical safety had never been a problem with the installation process.
You raise a nonconformance against clause 8.1.4.2 of ISO 45001.
At the closing meeting, the audit team leader presents the findings of the audit and comes to the above nonconformity. The OHS Manager presents the auditors with an email from all the current contractors confirming that they always carried out a site risk assessment. He asks that the nonconformity be withdrawn.
