Health And Safety Training

Occupational Health and Safety Courses

Occupational health and safety (OHS) officers are accountable for putting health and safety systems in place in a work atmosphere. This course is suitable for those who would like to take on the role of an occupational health and safety officer in the workplace and learn how to create a proper healthy and safe environment for workers and prevent serious injuries in the workplace.

By law, all companies in South Africa with more than 20 employees are required to have official health and safety measures in place. ^{1 labour.gov.za}

However, many businesses often lack the full knowledge and understanding of their legal responsibilities in safety management or are unsure where to begin when it comes to implementing workplace OHS measures as well as effective occupational health and safety training. As such, the skills needed for managing occupational health and safety have become an important requirement for every business.

Learn how to implement workplace safety management measures; manage OHS in your business; and implement occupational health and safety training amongst your staff
