Official PECB course. You enrol with us, an authorised PECB partner.

Overview

A five-day course that equips you to establish, implement, manage and maintain an occupational health and safety management system in line with ISO 45001:2018. You gain an in-depth understanding of the requirements and of the practices used to implement and sustain an OH&S MS, with one aim above all: creating the conditions for a safer workplace. The credential is IAS accredited and recognised internationally.
