The health of the workforce is vital to the performance of the organisation. This Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health training course focuses on an understanding of good industrial hygiene and occupational health, and how this area affects the health and well-being of employees and contractors who are exposed to health hazards in the workplace. Industrial hygiene and occupational health programs play a vital role in helping an organisation care for and understand the occupational health risks to their employees, enabling them to protect them and, to subsequently reduce sickness absence levels and optimise employee performance.
Industrial hygiene and occupational health are a vital component of an organisation’s health and safety management system for the effective management of operational risks. The purpose of this Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Health training course is to provide delegates with the knowledge and understanding of industrial hygiene and occupational health issues and their solutions.
