Training Course in Managing Occupational Health and Workplace Safety Services (Online / Remote)
1Summary
An industrial workplace runs on more than machinery and schedules — it depends on a team dedicated to keeping every worker fit, protected and healthy enough to do the job safely. Building the skills that team needs is the purpose of this Training Course in Managing Occupational Health and Workplace Safety Services, delivered by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy to the staff who run occupational health management within their organisation.
Industrial workplaces in particular need a dedicated occupational health management function, made up of specialists from different backgrounds working as one team to improve safety and health at work. Each member carries a specific duty: conducting regular worker check-ups and treatment, monitoring workplace health conditions, delivering health education, and training workers on safety practices such as protective clothing, verifying machinery and workplace soundness, and handling occupational rehabilitation after an injury. The course raises professional performance in exactly these duties, which form the basis of progress for any industrial institution.
