This course is part of ASSP’s five-course Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Management Systems Certificate program led by renowned experts. You can earn the certificate by completing any three courses in our program, but we recommend you complete all five courses to earn our advanced certificate and get the most value for you and your organization. Note: This is the first course in this program. We strongly encourage you to complete this course before taking any other course, although it’s not required.
Enhance your ability to assess and optimize your organization’s occupational health and safety (OHS) management system. Delve into ANSI/ASSP Z10 and ISO 45001 and gain the critical skills you need to determine the most fitting approach for your organization. Hone your systems thinking skills so you can better lead your organization’s efforts to solve persistent challenges and broaden the spectrum of viable solutions. Employ practical tools and proven methodologies to systematically improve both organizational and human performance.
