Health, Safety & Security
In parallel to the rapid industrialisation taking place in emerging economies across the world, maintaining the Health, Safety and Security (HSS) of employees, clients and customers is now an essential feature of contemporary organisational practice. Particularly in hazardous sectors such as construction, the reduction of accident rates in industrial settings has become paramount, as has the requirement for national bodies to successfully host eminent events – now more often selected to take place in a wider range of countries. Our bespoke programmes assist organisations of all scales in implementing and sustaining the sound HSS policies and procedures frequently required as part of contractual agreements and public regulations.
Course content is determined in collaboration with clients and comprehensive programmes can be designed, as required, with the integration of study modules from other areas. For interested participants, some of these programmes can be tailored to lead to externally awarded qualifications and certification.
