THE WORKSHOP

A formal management system or framework can help an organisation manage Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE). The aim of this course is to deliver an understanding of what constitutes an HSE Management System (HSE MS), and how these systems are applied in different hazardous industries. Legislative requirements and international standards for an HSE MS are also discussed. The course examines issues associated with the documentation and the human elements for the successful implementation of an HSE MS.

The main aim of HSE Management is to reduce or eliminate harm to staff, damage to company equipment and protect the environment, as well as reduce company’s risk of litigation. This is achieved by making sure the organisation complies with relevant regulations and by helping reduce the number of accidents and environmental disasters occurring in the workplace.

HSE Management System defines the principles by which companies conduct operations worldwide with regards to health, safety, and the environment.
