Measurement and Evaluation in OHS Managed Systems

As Occupational Health and Safety initiatives become more sophisticated and emphasize more of a managed systems approach, measurement and evaluation tools must also become more strategic in their intent, use and application.

This two-day course will highlight key measurement and evaluation techniques that can be used to support the development, implementation and maintenance of todays OHS intelligence based processes.

Participants will explore the intent, applications and value of such tools as baseline assessments, statistics, physical conditions audits, task observations and coaching, internal and systems auditing, cost-benefit analyses, employee satisfaction and perception surveys.

Participants will be able to evaluate measurement and evaluation tools within such frameworks as CSA Z1000 and other international standards.
