As the audit team leader, you are approached by an auditor in training during the lunchtime break. They advise you that the auditor to whom they have been assigned is, in their opinion, acting inappropriately. The auditor is alleged to have told the auditee " not to worry " about several clear nonconformities, has been rude to the auditor in training when they challenged this and has accepted two tickets for a football match as a thank you gift from the organisation.
How would you respond in this situation? Select three.

When calculating an ISO 45001 third party initial audit duration, which two of the following statements are false?
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 risk assessment report (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:
“The Purchase Manager confirmed that the safe use of chemicals in installation work was left to the contractor to deal with. The company did not work with contractors to control such hazards.”
Which two of the following actions proposed by Shelf-Fit would permit you to close out the nonconformity?
Showitoff is an organisation spcialising in the design and production of wall decorating material for the domestic market. During an ISO 45001 certification audit of the site, the auditor comes across an open, walled area just outside the maintenance department. It contains various scraps of wood and metal as well as several rusty components. Several heavy concrete beams are learning against a thin brick wall in which cracks are visible. When asked about it, the OHS Manager states that he presume that the material come from maintenance work, so it is the Maintenance Manager’s responsibility.
The auditor interviews the Maintenance Manager in his department. He asks about the area outside and is told that it contains some excess materials that the Manager likes to keep in case they come in handy at some stage. The auditor points out that the wall appears to be unstable collapse at any moment. The Maintenance Manager is not aware of such a situation.
Which three statement represent good audit practice?
