Why take this course?

Occupational Health and Safety is a major concern to employers and employees across all industry sectors in small, medium and large organisations, for profit or not. Preventable accidents, lost time and errors cost businesses both time and money, not to mention the personal pain and suffering that many accidents at work bring to those affected. Businesses with a Strategic Occupational Health and Safety Plan show lower injury rates while they enjoy higher productivity and employee morale. Effective training and awareness is probably the most cost-effective safety measure available to any company.
