OVERVIEW
On this course, you will explore the scientific, health and psychosocial factors influencing health and safety in the 21st century.
You will study current and emerging legal and compliance issues and consider the many factors that influence workplace safety and health, such as legionella, contaminated land and air quality.
You will learn how to formulate, implement and evaluate safety, health and environmental (SHE) management systems for an organisation, including concepts and techniques of occupational health and safety management.
Topics you will investigate include the principles and practices of risk management in the workplace, environmental protection and management, and the principal diseases of significance to public health.
You will develop your knowledge of workplace risk assessment, hazard and operability analysis (HAZOP), major incident contingency plans (MICP), pollution exposure assessment and environment management. You will consider topics such as benchmarking safety and risk management and assessment of hazards, risks and dangers at work, including processes in the development and management of ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management) standards.
As well as studying theory, you will have practical sessions. You’ll learn skills in how to identify, evidence and analyse concerns for safety at work, such as assessment and control of occupational risks that arise from exposure to hazards at work including noise levels and extreme working environments.
You will normally have a good honours degree (minimum 2:2), or international equivalent, in a relevant subject or significant proven experience in a relevant field. Others with field experience and professional qualification are also encouraged to apply.
