Health and Safety in the Workplace
Course Details
Description
Are you aware that 2.3 million people die every year due to occupational accidents? Over 85% of organisations that suffered a confined space fatality lacked safety procedures. Is your workplace prepared or under-prepared for emergencies?
Workplace accidents and injuries cost corporations millions of dollars and thousands of hours lost every year. They also have a profound, often lifelong, impact on workers. Introducing a safety culture into the organisation, where workplace safety is valued as an integral part of the business operation, not only saves the business time and money, it also builds a committed, loyal, healthy workforce.
All businesses, big and small, must have effective health and safety programs.
However, the smaller the business, the harder it is to develop a plan that successfully prevents injuries and illnesses. If you struggle to find the time, money, and resources for injury and illness prevention, this course will help you.
This course has been designed to familiarise employers and employees with health and safety issues and compliance requirements of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards and provide them with a foundation for starting to build their safety culture.
