MG 354 Occupational Health & Safety
The purpose of this course is to introduce the students to the foundations on which appropriate health and safety systems in the work place may be built and enhanced. Occupational health and safety affects all aspects of work and may simply require a trained manager with oversight authority in a low hazard organization or a team of professionals in a high hazard environment. This course will help the student understand the moral, legal and economic incentives for promoting health and safety standards in today's work place, the historical background under which these standards were developed, as well as the regulatory authorities that monitor said standards.
