Health, Safety, and Environment in Engineering Projects

Overview

In the world of business, the pursuit of success can sometimes be fraught with danger. When things go awry, people can get hurt, and organizations may suffer damage to their reputation and financial losses. At a minimum, organizations must demonstrate compliance with legal health, safety, and environmental (HSE) requirements. However, many forward-thinking organizations aspire to do more than mere compliance.

This training course is designed to expand delegates' perspectives by highlighting the positive business dimensions of proactively addressing health, safety, and environmental issues. Participants will gain valuable insights into promoting a culture of safety, enhancing technical and maintenance supervision skills, improving teamwork, and applying risk assessment principles in the workplace.
