By the end, participants will know how to identify, prevent, and manage these health risks effectively.<\/p><p>Participants will first learn about their <strong>statutory duties<\/strong> and responsibilities under the <strong>Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSH Act)<\/strong> and its subsidiary regulations. This knowledge is essential for ensuring a safe and healthy working environment.<\/p><p>The course also addresses <strong>ethical considerations<\/strong> in occupational health practice, such as <strong>confidentiality<\/strong>, <strong>non-maleficence<\/strong> (do no harm), and <strong>accountability<\/strong>. These ethical principles are key when managing worker health and maintaining trust in the workplace.<\/p><p>Next, participants will explore <strong>Safety and Health Management Systems (SHMS)<\/strong>. This includes understanding how these systems work in different industries like <strong>construction<\/strong>, <strong>shipyards<\/strong>, and <strong>confined spaces<\/strong>. By implementing SHMS, companies can improve safety standards and minimize health risks.<\/p><p>The course covers <strong>effective risk management<\/strong> strategies, focusing on <strong>risk assessments<\/strong>, <strong>control measures<\/strong>, and <strong>clear communication<\/strong>. These measures ensure that potential hazards are identified early and properly managed.<\/p><p>An important part of the course is learning how to conduct <strong>workplace and biological monitoring<\/strong>. This involves assessing risks from airborne chemicals, noise, and biological agents that could affect worker health.<\/p><p>Participants will also be trained on identifying <strong>hazards<\/strong> that require <strong>statutory medical examinations<\/strong>. These include exposures to <strong>asbestos<\/strong>, <strong>benzene<\/strong>, <strong>lead<\/strong>, and <strong>noise<\/strong>. The course explains how to assess these risks and the need for regular medical checks.<\/p><p>A step-by-step guide will explain how to <strong>conduct statutory medical examinations<\/strong>. This includes proper documentation, reporting, and the importance of accurate records for compliance and monitoring health.<\/p><p>The course also emphasizes <strong>respiratory and hearing protection measures<\/strong>. It covers the proper <strong>selection<\/strong>, <strong>usage<\/strong>, and <strong>maintenance programs<\/strong> for protective equipment. Participants will understand how to ensure that workers are adequately protected from airborne hazards and noise exposure.<\/p><p>Finally, the course discusses <strong>reporting and compensation<\/strong> for occupational diseases under the <strong>Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA)<\/strong>. Participants will learn how to navigate the reporting process and ensure workers receive fair compensation when occupational diseases occur.<\/p><p>By the end of the course, participants will have a thorough understanding of <strong>statutory medical<\/strong> practices, risk management, and the steps needed to protect workers from occupational diseases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":21027,"template":"","course-provider":[278],"training-course-category":[280,281,284,290,295,303,307,312],"training-course-industry":[317],"class_list":["post-21026","training-course","type-training-course","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","course-provider-wshc","training-course-category-asbestos","training-course-category-chemicals","training-course-category-compressed-air-work","training-course-category-ergonomics","training-course-category-heat-stress","training-course-category-noise","training-course-category-risk-management","training-course-category-wsh-management-systems","training-course-industry-healthcare"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/training-course\/21026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/training-course"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/training-course"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/training-course\/21026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26444,"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/training-course\/21026\/revisions\/26444"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"course-provider","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-provider?post=21026"},{"taxonomy":"training-course-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/training-course-category?post=21026"},{"taxonomy":"training-course-industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wsh-peer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/training-course-industry?post=21026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
