The IHSA COR Podcast IHSA

In our final episode of this series, IHSA’s Lead COR™ Auditor, Peter Smith, outlines what to expect for the external audit process. This discussion is intended to give COR™ Internal Auditors and Senior Managers a sense of what the external audit experience will include.

Lead COR™ Auditor, Peter Smith, addresses the difference between the COR™ 2020 Audit tool and the COR™ Transition Tool to outline how and when the transition tool is best used.

Our guests, Lead COR™ Auditor, Peter Smith, and IHSA’s Manager of Strategic programs, David Steinschifter, provide an overview of the process, expected timelines, and milestones—from submitting the first Internal Audit to achieving a certificate for an organization’s achieving COR™ for the first time.

The COR™ 2020 Audit Tool includes requirements for organizations to develop Procedure for writing certain procedures. The concept around this is one of the more common questions IHSA receives and it is worth a discussion. Our guests for this episode are HSMS Consultants (COR™), David Dametto and Michael Falls, and they walk us through these concepts.

This episode goes over the differences and expectations for Element 2 – Hazard Assessment, Analysis and Control, and Element 3 – Controls. Lead COR™ Auditor, Peter Smith, joins us to outline the important distinction.

Element 13 in the COR™ 2020 Audit Tool specifically addresses legislation, but this important concept also affects every element through the system. Lead COR™ Auditor, Peter Smith, returns to tackle this topic and discuss how the Elements of the previous COR™ Audit Tool are now included for those who are transitioning from COR™ to COR™ 2020.
