Occupational Safety and Health Hazards

Courses Images

No workplace is free from risk. Whether physical or psychosocial, occupational hazards are a concern for every workplace. This two-week course from Universiti Malaya will give you an introduction to occupational health and safety and help you to identify the many different types of hazards that can be found in the workplace.

Hazards and risks in the workplace aren’t always clear. It’s essential to understand that psychosocial risks need to be addressed just as much as hazards that can result in physical injury.

On this course, you’ll learn to identify the numerous types of occupational health and safety risks to ensure that you’re able to find and address them in your own company. You’ll also examine chemical and biological hazards, delving into toxicology and poisons as well as the chain of infection and how to contain these hazards.
