In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Training: getting familiar with occupational health and safety

Two days of orientation in occupational health and safety for someone who has to take it on without coming from the field: the obligations, risk assessment, the internal and external parties, and where to start.

Key challenges

Occupational health and safety is almost always discovered through documentary compliance, when what matters is what people actually do at their workstations.
There are many parties — employer, managers, employee representatives, occupational health service, inspectorate — and each has a role the others misattribute.
Someone newly in charge inherits a backlog of actions and no criteria for deciding where to start.

Identify the internal and external parties and their respective roles
