Testimonials
“What other delegates say about this course”
“The course was informative and a real eye-opener. As someone in Management, I learnt the importance of OHS and the work the appointed personnel have to undertake. The colleagues were engaging, and the analysis of real-life cases helped cement some of the principles.”
“The course content was very good, interesting and relevant. The facilitator engaging with the delegates was also making the course fun.”
“There was a lot of eye-opening information presented in this course, which served as a reminder that:
– All appointees should be familiar with the applicable legislation in their field.
– This is not solely the responsibility of the health and safety officer, and
– It must be integrated into the day-to-day operations of the organisation.”
“The course was beneficial to me. It emphasises areas where I have always had loopholes ever since my career started. Since the course, I am now confident in how to deal with matters arising from contracts daily.”
