Course Description:
Many employees and workers continue to
be killed or injured due to lack of
safety management at their workplaces.
Employees and workers suffer health and
long-term illness caused by their work.
Many of these illnesses only manifest
themselves years after exposure and many
are ultimately fatal. These injuries,
deaths and illnesses can and should be
prevented. Employers have traditionally
borne the responsibility for OHS.
Project managers and their site-level
managers as well as business
professional usually have a limited
understanding of their obligations
relating to OHS or OHS principles and
practices - which is, to a large extent,
the result of a serious gap in most
business and engineering degree courses.
This course aims to provide business
managers, professionals and
practitioners/students with an
understanding of theory pertaining to
OHS as well as to introduce a range of
tools and techniques representing best
practice in the management of OHS.
Details of lectures are given in the
course outline section.
