Additional Course Information Auditors are certified by AMHSA to conduct health and safety program audits within the municipal sector. In order to maintain the high calibre of auditing that exists within this sector, auditors must maintain their skills by conducting annual audits and refresh their knowledge by attending a one-day recertification course every 3 years. All auditors whose certification expires in 2008 must attend one of these recertification courses this year. The course addresses any audit quality concerns seen by AMHSA and provides information on any new or changed auditing requirements (2008 sampling criteria, executive report template, and new QA review tool). The course will run from 8:30 to 16:30 and includes a written exam for recertifying auditors. NOTE: Participants are asked to bring their own calculator for this course.
