About This Course
The ISO 45001 Lead Implementer programme gives you the skills to establish, run and continually improve an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system based on ISO 45001. Delivered fully self-paced and online, it covers the full implementation — hazard identification, risk and opportunity assessment, worker participation and operational control.
You’ll learn to build an OH&S management system that prevents work-related injury and ill health and engages workers at every level, from context and policy through incident investigation and emergency preparedness to evaluation and continual improvement — and to prepare for certification.
