Occupational Health, Safety and Employee Wellness

Bring health, safety and wellness together under one practical HR programme instead of three disconnected compliance exercises. Delegates cover employer duties under occupational health and safety legislation, build an absenteeism and incapacity management process, and design an employee wellness programme that addresses financial stress, substance use and mental health in a South African workforce.

What you will be able to do

  • Summarise employer and employee duties under occupational health and safety legislation.
  • Investigate a workplace incident and complete the required documentation.
  • Manage chronic absenteeism through a structured incapacity process.
  • Design an employee assistance and wellness programme within a limited budget.
  • Address financial stress, substance use and mental health as workplace risks.
  • Report wellness and safety metrics to management in a useful format.
