SAFETY OFFICER COURSES IN KOHAT 03214278510 IN KOHAT

Departmental or unit safety officers (DSOs) represent an important link between the department or unit and the University Safety Office. DSOs offer safety advice to their heads of department, coordinate the advice of other specialist safety advisers and assist with the implementation and monitoring of University policy in their respective areas. The DSO role is clearly a vital one within the health and safety management network of the University.

It is University policy that all new DSOs receive appropriate training and the Safety Office provides a programme of training each year in Michaelmas Term. The course is offered in four themed modules, and attendance at each module is required.

A list of the topics covered in Module 1 is provided for information, and there will be opportunity for informal discussion during coffee and at the end of the session.
