• – Module 3: Concept of occupational health and safety

In this module, it was a question of understanding that the concepts of health and safety at work imply the knowledge of certain concepts such as danger, risk, damage, dangerous situation ...
Occupational health and safety are ensured by a multitude of organizations, both national and international, through legal or normative texts. Since all work presents a risk for the person who performs it, it is therefore essential to implement measures to reduce or eliminate the risk, hence prevention. Finally, there is the risk estimate.

A practical case on the ability to identify hazards / hazardous situations / hazardous events / damage was given to participants at the end of this module.

After the definition of some concepts related to the environment, the challenges of environmental management were highlighted, as well as environmental management and a practical case on the implementation of an environmental management plan.
