Best Practices in Safety Management

The global trend in integrating Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems within all other business management has changed the way safety is managed by all industries. Instead of prescriptive legislation and standards, a pro-active approach to risk management based on structured and systematic risk assessment is now a common place.

This programme is aimed at providing hands-on experience on the application of advanced safety management principles and techniques relevant to a wide variety of industries. This will include reactive, active and pro-active measurement of performance against set targets based on best practices.
