OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards
Details :
The OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety
Administration) Standards are precise, detailed and fully functional in matters
of occupational health and safety. These standards have to be followed in the
United States by legislation. They are, however, also widely used
internationally by many major organisations because they have shown to have
prevented countless work-related injuries, illnesses and deaths.
An understanding of modern health and
safety is essential for the safe operation of all businesses, plants and
process operations. The role of health and safety management and the role of
risk assessment is an essential part of modern health and safety. The OSHA
standards identify not only hazards but also the financial and moral drivers
for safety management.
This highly interactive OSHA
training course offers insight into the causes of accidents, incidents, and
disasters. Failures that lead to disaster are investigated to help develop
robust systems for operational and process safety. Issues relating to
occupational health are also discussed and developed within this training
course and a robust model for accident causation is considered, along with the
role of human failure.
Participants attending the OSHA – Occupational Health and Safety Administration Standards training course will develop the following competencies:
- Learn the principles of modern health and safety
- Identify within the OSHA Standards as well as
other health and safety standards the driving forces (financial and moral
issues).
- Develop an understanding of the risk assessment
process
- Gain an insight into the importance of
Occupational Health as well as Safety
- Learn about the causes of accidents, incidents
and disaster
- Learn how to select / implement disaster
prevention measures
