Course Overview
This intensive training program equips safety professionals with strategic and operational skills to develop robust safety management systems (SMS) and lead effective emergency response. The course covers ISO 45001, OSHA PSM, and ICS/NIMS frameworks, blending risk-based safety planning with crisis command skills. Participants will engage in tabletop drills, incident simulations, and SMS development workshops to master organizational resilience.
