Health, Safety & Security (HSS) Training

Introduction:

Who does not want to be part of a winning team? Everyone wants to be on a winning team, but the emphasis is on the team. Therefore, all the players must work together to create a win-win outcome. This HSS health, safety, and security course requires the input of the theoretician, the practitioner, and the implementer.

Safety management has come under considerable scrutiny due to recent disasters. However, the concept of Safety Management Systems is usually limited to the systematic approach and not the holistic (all-aspect) approach. Safety Management must encompass safety's hard and soft aspects to produce an exceptional outcome.

Health and Safety have to be managed with the same degree of expertise and to the same standards as other core business activities because of the high cost of failures. Legislation requires employers to assess and manage risks. Public opinion on risk acceptability moves against poorly managed organizations that impose excessive risks and high-profile disasters that fuel public opinion.

The HSS health, safety, and security seminar is based upon Successful Health and Safety Management as produced by the Health and Safety Executive UK, but not only, as various topics for High Hazard Plants will be looked into in more detail.
