R19,999.00
Course Overview
In today’s complex and high-risk work environments, the ability to proactively manage safety and control risks is critical to protecting employees, assets, and organizational reputation. Accidents, near misses, and unsafe practices can lead to financial loss, legal consequences, and in some cases, irreversible harm.
The Safety Management and Risk Control course is a comprehensive training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and techniques necessary to establish and maintain an effective safety management system (SMS) and to systematically identify, assess, and control occupational risks.
Grounded in internationally recognized standards such as ISO 45001, OSHA regulations, and best practices in occupational health and safety, this course integrates theoretical learning with practical tools to enhance safety performance, promote compliance, and foster a culture of continuous safety improvement.
