Occupational Health Safety And Environmental Principles Implementation Training

Learning Outcomes

• Explain the legal and regulatory framework for occupational health, safety, and environmental management in South Africa.
• Identify workplace hazards and assess associated risks using appropriate methodologies.
• Apply control measures to eliminate or minimize risks to health, safety, and the environment.
• Implement OHSE procedures and emergency response plans effectively.
• Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of OHSE implementations and recommend improvements.
• Communicate OHSE information to stakeholders clearly and accurately.

Target Audience

This course is designed for supervisors, safety representatives, and employees who are responsible for implementing OHSE principles in their workplace. It is also suitable for individuals seeking to enhance their knowledge of health, safety, and environmental management.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, learners should have basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals reinforce theoretical concepts through hands-on exercises in hazard identification, risk assessment, incident investigation, emergency response, and environmental management. Learners apply tools and procedures in simulated workplace scenarios, building competence in implementing OHS and environmental principles.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Workplace Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Learners conduct a walk-through of a simulated work area, identify hazards, and perform a risk assessment using a risk matrix. (6h)
• Practical 2: Incident Investigation Simulation — Learners investigate a mock workplace incident, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and determine root causes using a fishbone diagram. (5h)
• Practical 3: Emergency Response Drill — Learners participate in a simulated emergency (e.g., fire or chemical spill), practice evacuation procedures, and use fire extinguishers or spill kits. (5h)
• Practical 4: Environmental Aspect and Impact Assessment — Learners assess a simulated process for environmental aspects, evaluate impacts, and propose mitigation measures. (3h)
• Practical 5: OHS Audit Simulation — Learners conduct a mini-audit of a simulated workplace area using a checklist, identify non-conformances, and provide corrective action suggestions. (2h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
