About this program
Occupational health and safety (OHS) serves as a fundamental pillar for organizational durability and the well-being of employees. International standards such as ISO 45001 and OSHA regulations help ensure workplace compliance, hazard control, and employee protection. Adopting these standards minimizes workplace injuries, protects organizational assets, and promotes sustainable productivity.
This program delves into international OHS standards, regulatory policies, compliance mandates, hazard prevention methods, governance, employee education, and global best practices. Participants will acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical techniques to effectively design and oversee safety management systems.
Offered by EuroQuest International Training, the course incorporates workshops, simulations, and case studies to enhance practical skills in applying OHS standards.
