BSI’s Implementing an occupational health and safety management system course helps participants gain a better understanding of the “best practices” for occupational health and safety (OH&S). To provide students with the appropriate background, the course covers the basics of an occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS), the process approach, and management system documentation.
