PECB ISO-45001-Lead-Auditor Dumps Questions Answers

The correct answers are B, E, and G.

G is true because ISO 19011 states that a closing meeting should be held to present the audit findings and conclusions. This applies to audits generally, not only third-party audits. (Oshisis)

E is true because ISO 19011 guidance says that for some audit situations the closing meeting may be formal, but in other instances, such as internal audits, the closing meeting can be less formal and may simply consist of communicating the findings and conclusions. That means a first-party closing meeting is commonly less formal than a third-party certification closing meeting. (Synersia Foundation)

B is also true. ISO 19011 and related guidance allow the use of remote methods / ICT in audit activities, and remote audit methods may be combined with on-site methods. From that, it follows that the audit team leader may arrange for audit team members to join activities such as the closing meeting virtually, where appropriate and controlled. This is an inference from the permitted use of ICT in audits. (ISO)

Why the others are false:

A is false because the closing meeting is for presenting findings and conclusions, not for changing findings simply because the auditee is unhappy. Findings can be clarified, but not changed without objective evidence. (Oshisis)

C is false because there is no rule that the audit team must meet formally immediately after the closing meeting to consider recommendations.

D is false because ISO 19011 says some closing meetings may be formal and recorded, but internal audits can be less formal, so they do not always have to be documented in that way. (Synersia Foundation)

F is false because the audit team leader is responsible for managing the audit team and assigning roles.

H is false because the closing meeting should be chaired by the audit team leader, not by the audit client. (Oshisis)

The best responses are D, E, and G.

D. Insist that the nonconformities must stand since there is clear evidence for them apart from the videos is correct because audit findings and nonconformities must be based on objective evidence. If the evidence supporting the findings exists independently of the videos, then the findings should not be rescinded simply because there is a dispute about how supplementary material was recorded. A problem with auditor conduct or site permission does not automatically invalidate valid audit evidence already obtained.

E. Advise the OHS Manager that they should speak to the supervisor to confirm the situation is also appropriate because the auditor stated that permission had been obtained from a supervisor who was part of the safety team. Before taking action, the audit team leader should verify the facts. This is a reasonable and proportionate response to clarify whether site permission was actually granted.

G. Indicate that he, as audit team leader, will seek approval for the taking of videos by auditors at the opening meetings with management at all audits in the future is appropriate because it addresses the control weakness going forward. Audit teams should be clear about site rules, confidentiality, and permissions for photographs or videos before audit activities begin. This is a constructive preventive action for future audits.

Why the other options are not the best:

A may be premature until the facts are verified.

B assumes misconduct before confirming the facts.

C is incorrect because auditors do not inherently “must” take videos.

F is too severe before the situation is properly established and investigated.

H is inappropriate because the audit team leader should not personally handle or manipulate the auditor’s personal phone.

The correct answer is A.

This is a serious attempted bribe and a direct threat to audit integrity, impartiality, and credibility. A third-party auditor must not accept gifts, inducements, or favorable treatment in exchange for changing, hiding, or weakening audit findings. The auditor must act ethically and protect the certification process from improper influence.

The organization has also failed to implement the agreed corrective action, so that failure must be recorded accurately. Any attempt to conceal it would be dishonest and would invalidate the audit outcome. In certification auditing, impartiality and objective evidence are fundamental principles. An offer of discounted personal work in exchange for suppressing an audit finding is unacceptable and must be escalated.

Therefore, the correct response is to:

stop the audit activity, because the integrity of the audit has been compromised;

leave the site;

report the attempted bribe immediately to the individual(s) managing the audit programme or certification body;

avoid further direct contact with the auditee until instructions are given.

Why the other options are wrong:

B is unethical because it ignores both the failed corrective action and the attempted bribe.

C is fraudulent because it involves knowingly recording false audit information and accepting the improper benefit.

D is also unethical because it accepts the benefit indirectly and delays the audit to help the auditee avoid the finding.
