Training Overview

Safety is good for business. A safe and healthy workplace eliminates accidents, reduces absenteeism, raises employee morale, and enhances employee productivity. The absence of a safe and healthy working environment increases the frequency of workplace accidents and illnesses resulting in an increase of the cost of doing business.

With the cases mentioned above, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued department order (DO) 198 s. 2018 to strengthen the enforcement of OSH policies and programs for private companies. The DO states that companies must establish safety and health policies and programs as well as install safety officers to ensure that these programs are being enforced.

In this regard, ECOP will conduct a 5-day intensive online training program with safety officers as prospective participants. This extensive training will help them to assume the role of a full-fledged Safety Officer 2 (based on the Implementing Rules and Regulations). It will also help them gain the necessary skills and knowledge to develop safety and health policies and programs for their companies and mitigate the risk and hazards that can cause occupational accidents and illnesses in the workplace.

Training Objectives

At the end of the 5-day (40 hours) intensive training program, participants will be able to:

1. Learn the basics of occupational safety and health
2. Understand government regulations that focus on occupational safety and health
3. Determine hazards and risks at work and develop measures on how to eliminate them
4. Draft company OSH policies
5. Be a certified Safety Officer 2 practitioner
