Occupational Health & Safety Administration Standards - OSHA
Course Info
Course Summary
Occupational health and safety standards are used internationally by organisations to ensure the safety and care of employees. It’s essential that all companies understand how to accurately carry out risk assessments, employ individuals who are sufficiently trained in first aid, and have strict policies and procedures for reporting and acting on accidents if they do occur.
As a business owner or health and safety manager, it’s important that you regularly assess your business premises and procedures to understand how accidents could occur and mitigate them. Recording and investigating past events can also give you insight into the causes of accidents and help to determine suitable resolutions.
Training all employees to recognise health and safety risks and understand their role within the business regarding health and safety can help the business maintain safe practices and respond quickly to any incidents or disasters.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand your role in the business when it comes to health and safety.
- Delegate tasks and assessments to individuals to ensure you get a full and accurate picture of your business.
- Develop a risk assessment process and regular audits.
- Deal with accidents and incidents appropriately if they do occur.
- Mitigate incidents using your risk assessment criteria.
- Prevent disasters and implement contingency plans where required.
- Train your staff to adhere to policies and procedures and gain buy-in.
- Understand the role of OSHA in aiding continuous improvement.
This course is designed for people with responsibilities in health and safety or any individual interested in learning more about their health and safety obligations as an employer. It would be most beneficial for:
- Business Owners

This course utilises a wealth of adult learning styles to aid comprehension and understanding of good health and safety practices.

Each participant will return to employment with a clear view of changes and a framework for improvements to make the working environment safer for all employees.
