Course Outlines
This course of study has been arranged in five separate subject areas as they concern the practitioner. Within each section a series of topics will be examined, supported by readings from the text and other references of interest. The text and the various references materials would constitute a valuable subject library for the practitioner. The major objective of this course is to introduce Human Resources professionals to the broad and ever-changing field of Occupational and Safety, an inherently technical subject area far broader than legislation only. The multiple dimensions of the various issues – technical, legislative, political and personal – are a required part of the training for a professional in this field or for someone who is involved with this kind of operation-dealing with consultants, for example. Occupational Health (or Hygiene) cannot be separated from Occupational Safety because of the many overlapping requirements and because the well-being of the worker must be first and foremost.
