As a supervisor, you have specific legal responsibilities for workplace safety that differ from those of workers. This course helps you understand these obligations while providing practical skills to identify hazards, conduct inspections, assess risks, and lead investigations. Beyond legal compliance, these skills help reduce workplace incidents, demonstrate due diligence, and can advance your career opportunities.
Our modular approach allows organizations to select only those areas most relevant to their specific industry and workplace needs. This ensures you receive training that directly applies to your daily responsibilities without spending time on less relevant content.
