Curriculum
Accidents and incidents are prevalent in various industries and workplaces. Some of the primary reasons for these mishaps are a lack of preventive measures, non-compliance to safety standards and lack of education among the employees. Moreover, many employers fail to perform their part regarding the safety of their employees, thus contributing to social and economic losses along with the loss of human lives. Another reason for these incidents is the lack of competent professionals in this field.
These factors cost millions of dollars to organisations and enterprises every year when combined. Keeping this in mind, the experts at ExoExcellence have created a course to address this gap in knowledge on accident investigation and prevention in occupational settings. We have made accident investigation a part of this course because it is a vital factor in determining the cause of the accident. Moreover, thorough and transparent investigations help organisations prevent accidents from happening again in the future.
We have divided the content of this course into two modules containing three base topics. The first module includes topics regarding common accidents and injuries in the workplace. It also discusses those accidents that are specific to certain industries. The second module presents the methods for investigating workplace accidents and how to control their occurrence by implementing the pyramid of the 'hierarchy of controls'. The course also contains various graphics, statistics and a brief assessment to increase your interest in learning.
