Course overview

ISO 45001 replaced OHSAS 18001 as the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. This course trains you to audit an OH&S management system and judge whether it eliminates hazards, reduces risk and protects workers.

Case studies draw on construction, oil and gas and manufacturing examples from the Gulf region, with a strong focus on worker consultation and participation.
