What is the ISO 45001 for Senior Document Controllers course about?

Documentation often gets challenged not because it's incomplete, but because the rationale behind control selection, version governance, and evidence linkage isn't clearly tied to ISO 45001 intent. This leads to delays, repeated clarifications, and reliance on subject matter experts to justify work that should already be defensible.
