3 days – NQF Level 4

Occupational Health & Safety has become an ever increasing aspect which the management of a responsible business needs to manage effectively.

With increasing newspaper and television coverage of incidents that has occurred it has become a priority to pro-actively look at saving lives and improving the quality of our Safety and Health management systems in organizations.

Poor statistics lead to a poor organizational image, lower production, increased costs, lower employee morale and can even lead to being removed from the JSE as a listed company.

People are important resources which we cannot operate without – we need to provide a working environment that is free from harm, illnesses and diseases to maintain the current safety and health status of these employees.
