Added value through intelligent use of OHSAS 18001:2007
All too frequently health and safety is used as a stick with which to threaten employees and management. Quality systems are often too frequently seen in a similar light. This 1 day course shows that if used in a positive manner 'added value' can be derived from health and safety in much the same way the HR function 'adds value' to a business.
Course content
This course covers:
- The traditional reasons cited for why health and safety is important
- Why health and safety management is wrongly, but largely driven by the fear of failure.
- Examines the attributes required to be an effective health and safety professional covering both technical and soft skills.
- The ideas of several industrial psychologists and business theorists and the way in which the application of them allows added value to be derived from health and safety.
Who should attend
- Health and safety, quality, environment, HR, production and project managers interesting in deriving better value from health and safety.
- Any senior manager or director interested in making health and safety work as a 'positive'.
Course style
- Interactive based presentations.
- Extensive use of group based discussions based around case studies and workshops.
