Introduction

Certainly, a near miss is better than an accident but it only means luck intervened. Health and Safety requires a robust system of management, competent leaders, methods for hazard identification and risk reduction through inherently safer work designs

All organizations invest considerable amounts in training and guiding their Team Leaders, Managers, Engineers and Supervisors on new methods of leaner and higher efficiency production methods. Incidents however keep occurring resulting in human harm and financial loss

This course aims at rectifying the loss cycle by attaining superior competencies in the areas of Health and Safety. This course provides a valuable understanding of Health and Safety and is a serious step towards developing competencies that will enable further progress in these fields. The increased competencies of the delegates will result in cost savings and increased efficiencies within the company. The training course covers Safety Management, Hazard Control, and Process Safety Management.
