There has been a considerable increase in the number of inquiries that I have received for the BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health & Safety Management certification. It seems that businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the need not only to meet current legislation but to keep their employees safe and morale high by demonstrating the 'OH' part (Occupational Health) as well as the safety element.
I have been offering Quality, Environmental and Information Security consultancy for many years but it became clear that I would need to also include Health & Safety Management Consultancy as part of the service that I offer to my clients.
Therefore, I enrolled in the BSI Certificate on Occupational Health & Safety Course, which is a distance learning system. There are eight modules provided on 3 CDs. Each module is concluded by an assignment, which on completion is marked by A BSI Tutor. Once marked,the next module is then commenced. The course material, both on the CD and in paper format was very good and gave me all the information I needed to pass the assignments. My Tutor was very complimentary about my assignments and there was only one instance where I needed to resubmit information.
Last Friday I received my BSI Certificate on Occupational Health & Safety and I am delighted that by taking this course my knowledge has been greatly improved. I can see that the Standard is not just about Safety but also encompasses Health and wellbeing.
All in all I am very pleased with the result.
