Implementing an ISO 22301 BCMS
From the certification decision to the first surveillance audit
A complete implementation path: sequence the project, produce the twenty required documented items, prepare the two-stage initial audit, and keep the system alive after certification — which is where most BCMS decay.
Learning objectives
- Sequence a twelve-month certification project
- Produce the required documented information, without excess
- Run an internal audit covering every clause
- Prepare a management review that produces decisions
- Anticipate the most frequent nonconformities
Intended audience
- Certification project leads
- QHSE and management system leads
- Internal auditors
- Consultants
Prerequisites
- Writing plans people can use
- Running a BIA that holds
Detailed curriculum
Module 1
Sequencing the project
A realistic calendar and the order in which deliverables must appear.
Module 2
Living with the certificate
What happens after the initial audit, and why most systems decay there.
Assessment method
Self-check questions throughout the lessons, with no recorded score. Where an associated track leads to a certification, that certification has a separate exam.
Document issued
This course does not, on its own, lead to a certificate. A track certification, where one exists, is issued after its exam is passed.
