Presentation
In business, safety and security are major priorities for business continuity, protection of people and property, and regulatory compliance. They cover a wide range of issues, from preventing occupational risks — physical, chemical and psychosocial — to managing emergencies such as fires, floods and attacks.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of business safety and security. It covers the fundamentals of risk prevention, emergency management and security. Lessons alternate theory, including risks, regulations and analysis methods, with practical case studies, simulations and exercises. You will learn to identify risks, assess their severity, implement appropriate prevention measures, manage emergencies and protect your business against internal and external threats.
