Classroom training in Accra · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 4,500

The final day focuses on measuring performance through leading and lagging indicators, safety inspections, internal audits and management review, closing the loop with continual improvement. Practical work includes completing a risk assessment for a real task, investigating a case incident and drafting audit findings. Safety officers, HSE coordinators, supervisors, facility and operations managers and members of safety committees in manufacturing, construction, energy, health and services will find it relevant. You return able to strengthen your organisation's safety system and present evidence of its performance.

About this course
This course provides practitioners with core competencies and practical tools in occupational health and safety management training, combining theoretical frameworks with field-tested approaches drawn from real-world projects.
Participants engage with case studies, complete hands-on exercises, and develop implementation plans they can apply directly to their own work.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from industrial sites, construction operations, healthcare facilities, and regulated workplace environments, examining how occupational health and safety management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for occupational health and safety management, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Develop robust occupational health and safety management frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
