Advanced Occupational Health and Safety
The programme is designed to develop leaders in the areas of Occupational Health and Safety(OHS) with specialised technical health and safety skills. Leading organisations work hard to provide their employees with safe, healthy workplaces. They know that anything less could reflect poorly on them and risk penalties for non-adherence to regulations. This certificate programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills to develop, implement and manage strong health and safety systems. Whether you work in human resources or aspire to, or have joined a health and safety committee task force, you will learn how to ensure your workforce meets all the required health and safety requirements in a tight regulatory framework. You will discover what organisations can do to prevent costly accidents that impair productivity and engage more employees in proactive health and safety measures. The programme intends to broaden managerial skills as well as deepen technical skills. A differentiating theme will be a focus on “System thinking” rather than “incident thinking”.
The course is designed for supervisors, managers, and OHS leaders.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to;
- Deepen knowledge of occupational health and safety systems.
- Get to know the managerial issues surrounding occupational health and safety.
- Identify costs and causes of workplace accidents.
- Examine accident prevention strategies.
