Correct Answer: B,C
Comprehensive Detailed Explanation along with All ISO 45001 Audit References Analysis of Each Option: Reference: ISO 19011:2018, Clause 6.3.2. B). The audit team leader does not select the OHS audit team members.False.The audit team leader is responsible for selecting competent team members with the requisite expertise to evaluate the auditee's Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS). Selection is based on criteria such as knowledge of ISO 45001, auditing skills, and understanding of the industry.Reference: ISO 19011:2018, Clause 5.4.2 and 6.3.1. C). The audit team leader should plan to interview each employee.False.While employee interviews are an essential part of gathering evidence during an ISO 45001 audit, interviewing every employee is impractical and unnecessary.

The audit team leader should present the plan to the auditee before the Stage 2 audit.True.Presenting the audit plan to the auditee before the audit is essential to ensure all parties are informed and prepared for the audit.

The organisation should cancel staff leave during the audit.False.ISO 45001 and related audit guidelines do not mandate the cancellation of staff leave during audits.
