Occupational Safety and Health
Programme Overview
The Health and Safety Act is very clear in its requirements of both employers and employees in creating and maintaining a safe work environment.
A safe workplace is everyone's responsibility. While the employer must ensure they provide a safe place of work, employees are actually responsible for themselves and the safety of those working around them.
The aim of this programme is to ensure everyone involved with a workplace understands their responsibilities and how to make their environment safe, workable and legally compliant.
'Working Safe' Health and Safety modules are designed to cover all OSH compliance issues in an easy to learn, graphically interesting, and interactive way, with document templates to build manuals and registers and self-checking activities to test out employees knowledge and understanding.
Modules
The goal of the three Health and Safety modules is to provide employees with the knowledge and understanding of Health and Safety in employment as well as the skills for implementing Health and Safety procedures in their specific workplace. The modules include:
- Health and Safety for All Employees
- The Safety Officer
- The Safety Representative
