This course introduces safety management systems and principles. Implementing a structured approach to organizational processes and workflow is the first step in creating a safety culture in an organization—one that involves employees at all levels. A systematic approach that includes hazard identification and risk assessment, and procedures for controlling and monitoring them (inspections and investigations) ensures that risks and hazards are identified at the earliest point possible, and that corrections and safety are prioritized. Identifying, controlling, and addressing hazards and risk requires inspections and investigations, for which appropriate training and leadership are necessary. The course emphasizes the necessity of leadership involvement to set the tone for a safety-conscious work culture and provide training to develop and maintain this culture.
