Newly appointed safety officers are often handed the role with a title and a hard hat but little grounding in the full range of duties the job demands. This five day programme gives new practitioners a practical foundation across legal duties, hazard identification, inspections, incident handling, emergency planning and the everyday communication that makes a safety officer effective. It draws throughout on the realities of South African workplaces and the pressures a safety officer faces balancing production and protection.
