Occupational Health & Safety Course: Introduction
South African law requires a safety officer or even a safety team to be present in some industries where the risk of harm to employees is high. This course takes participants step-by-step through the legal issues and the functions of a safety officer. We examine different kinds of risk assessment and we identify hazards. We also go through the company’s health and safety policy as relevant to participants attending representing a single company.
