You are conducting an ISO 45001 audit of Widgets Inc.

Clause 10.2 of ISO 45001 requires organizations to investigate incidents, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Analysis of Options:

A. Check whether corrective actions were taken.This directly relates to the requirement to implement corrective actions to address the identified risks and hazards. Failure to do so would indicate nonconformity.

B. Determine whether the Health and Safety Authority was notified.Notification is a legal requirement in certain jurisdictions, but it is not explicitly required under ISO 45001 unless the legal context demands it.

C. Establish whether the root cause was determined.Root cause analysis is fundamental for effective corrective action. Without this, corrective measures may not address the underlying problem.

D. Find out when the operator ' s machine was last subject to maintenance.While maintenance is important, it does not directly address the incident ' s nonconformity.

E. Find out whether the operator was sent to the hospital.Sending the operator to the hospital is a reactive step and not relevant to compliance with Clause 10.2.

F. Interview the operator about PPE usage.This is relevant but insufficient for determining compliance with Clause 10.2.
