Corporate Governance
There is growing recognition that health and safety is essential to building a successful and sustainable business.
Good governance of an organisation’s occupational safety and health management system is, therefore, an important dimension of business success.
IOSH Corporate Governance explores ways in which occupational safety and health can be integrated into an organisation’s existing corporate governance arrangements. Developing key elements of exemplary governance in safety and health is particularly timely, as organisations embark on embedding the international standard on occupational safety and health management systems, ISO 45001, into their business. This course is a stepping stone to complete Leading Safely.
