I. Why the need for this course?
Management of health and safety in the workplace is not a legal and moral obligation; it also makes good business sense. Attention to safety and employee welfare issues can yield valuable returns in improving employee morale, reducing absenteeism and maintaining productivity, while cutting costs arising from accidents and compensations thereof. Health and safety is often regarded as being separate from other workplace issues. As health and safety laws often involve technical issues, laypersons feel that only experts can deal with such matters.
PRIA's learning and experiences of the last two decades, however, defies this myth. We believe most accidents happen because they have not been prevented thus safety is a key issue. This programme titled "Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety" is designed to provide learners with basic information, resources, discussion questions and interactive opportunities that motivate an understanding of Occupational Health and Safety. The methodology and case studies used in the programme are on the one hand tested in the field set up and on the other enriched by PRIA's networking with experts and practitioners.
