The residential phase of the programme will be held on the campus of the ITC/ILO in Turin, Italy.
At the end of the training programme, participants will be able to:
- Manage the use of procedures, methods and other tools for hazard identification, risk evaluation and risk control.
- Formulate, implement and evaluate a safety and health plan for an enterprise, incorporating essential OSH concepts and techniques of OSH management.
- Advise employers and workers on technical requirements of OSH.
