Occupational Health & Safety is relevant to all types of businesses, private or public sector, including traditional industries, information technology companies, retail and wholesale, government services, care homes, schools, universities, leisure facilities and offices.
All employers have a mandatory obligation to safeguard the safety and health of their employees. This can be achieved by understanding and identifying occupational hazards and risks with the main goal to avoid accidents and/or diseases from occurring in the workplace.
The purpose of this workshop is to equip you with the fundamentals on which appropriate Health & Safety management systems may be built.
On successful completion of the course, you will have a broad understanding of applicable Health & Safety legislation in the workplace and will be able to identify and control basic occupational Health & Safety hazards and risks at the point of action and in the execution of day-to-day operational tasks associated with designated job-related duties.
