New CovidSafe Audit Templates
As we adapt to the new reality of COVID-19, it’s important that organizations include the necessary controls as part of their management systems. We have added 2 new audit templates to Qudos 3 Audit module, and also to Safety Toolkit. These audit templates will help you to verify your Covidsafe arrangements on both a corporate and site-specific level.

Professional ISO 45001 Gap Analysis
Qudos can provide a professional Gap Analysis service to help you bridge the gap to the latest ISO 45001 OHS management system standard.
The first step in developing or updating a management system is to identify any gaps between what is currently in place, and the new requirements. This is known as a Gap Analysis. Qudos has successfully provided Gap Analysis services to a wide range of clients over many years. This service is available to help your organization transition to ISO 45001 standard. An experienced lead auditor will review your current management system and interview key personnel involved in relevant areas of your organization. Including:

- The requirements of the new standard in the context of your operations
- The gaps between existing arrangements and those requirements
