A major trend among world corporations and public agencies is the creation of formal occupational health and safety management systems that meet internationally recognized standards. Official certification of such plans by a third party auditor marks the end of planning and the start of implementation. ISO 18001 certification is a complicated and labor-intensive process, but it can bring great tangible and intangible benefits such as reduced liability or health insurance rates. This course will study the process, then apply it to case studies. |
