Course Description

Management systems are a powerful tool you can use to continuously improve occupational safety and health (OSH) in your organization. Expand your knowledge of foundational concepts of systems thinking and gain insights on concepts related to the new view of safety and human and organizational performance. Explore ways to develop a road map based on ANSI/ASSP Z10.0-2019 that organizations of all sizes can use to create a control structure to manage occupational risk and integrate with business systems. Review practical approaches that can help you transition from program-based firefighting activities to process-driven continual improvement. These approaches recognize that system performance is the product of the interaction of elements such as leadership, worker participation, planning, implementation, monitoring and measurement, and culture. Your registration includes a digital copy of ANSI/ASSP Z10; ASSP GM-Z10.100-2019, Guidance and Implementation Manual for ANSI/ASSP Z10; and ASSP GM - Z10.101-2019, Guidance Manual: Keep Your People Safe in Smaller Organizations.
