: b. Certificate in Occupational
: Health and Safety
:
: (In collaborative partnership with
: CIS ( Unit of International Labour
: Organisation)
:
: Management of health and safety in
: the workplace is not only a legal
: and moral obligation; it also makes
: good business sense. Attention to
: safety and employee welfare issues
: can yield valuable returns in
: improving employee morale, reducing
: absenteeism and maintaining
: productivity, while cutting costs
: arising from accidents and
: compensations thereof. Health and
: safety is often regarded as being
: separate from other workplace
: issues. As health and safety laws
: often involve technical issues,
: laypersons feel that only experts
: can deal with such matters.
:
: PRIA's learning and experiences of
: the last two decades, however,
: defies this myth. We believe most
: accidents happen because they have
: not been prevented, thus safety is a
: key issue. This Programme titled
: "Certificate in Occupational
: Health and Safety' is designed to
: provide learners with basic
: information, resources, discussion
: questions and interactive
: opportunities that motivate an
: understanding of Occupational Health
: and Safety. The Programme is based
: on two decades of PRIA's involvement
: with the issue.
:
: From its inception PRIA's work
: focused on capacity building and
: demystifying the concepts and
: practices of the Occupational Health
: and Safety. The methodology and case
: studies used in the programme are on
: the one hand tested in the field set
: u pand on the other enriched by
: PRIA's networking with experts and
: practitioners. Seven units are
: offered as part of the course.
