Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Workshop

Why Attend

Who is responsible for health and safety in your organization? Who should be held accountable to meet legal obligations in safety requirements? Through this course, it will be apparent that workplace safety is the responsibility of everyone in the organization. Moreover, a thorough review of common hazards, as well as root causes of accidents and incidents, will allow participants to be armed with various tools to help them create, follow, and more importantly, implement the standards of health and safety.

By being aware of the hazards surrounding them, participants will be able to identify and anticipate such hazards. Moreover, the instructions on investigation techniques and processes delivered in this course will enable participants to better plan for upcoming tasks.
