Description:

People - sometimes referred to as ‘human capital’ - are the most under-utilized resource in the developed world. People are our most valuable resource, yet we often do not do a good job of equipping them with the intellectual and practical skills they need to perform optimally. We believe that effective workplace training tools - and the ability to implement intelligent training strategies - are key tools for effective leadership.

Description:

 Litigation for workplace losses can reach into the corporate boardroom and cut deeply into the corporate treasury. Basic principles of applying due diligence and compliance in health, safety and environmental standards are provided.

Description:

 TQM embodies the goal of continuous improvement with the spirit of empowerment, which are primary shifts required in the emerging economy. Effective health, safety and environmental leadership programs will recognize and apply the strengths of TQM to address issues in those workplaces.

Description:

 We humans are complex creatures. When we're healthy, we're able to contribute richly to personal and corporate goals. If some part of our being is not healthy it impacts our whole life. Many variables in our lives and our workplaces impact the state of "wellness". Understanding those variables, and having some tools to manage their impact, are key to a highly effective health, safety and environmental management program.

Description:

 Traditional management programs are "owned" by senior management. Organizational cultures are undergoing massive changes and traditional approaches no longer apply in many sectors. Effective management programs are driven by all stakeholders who are impacted by them. In most cases, this means that those on "the shop floor" must learn new process skills to enable their participation. As well, managers must learn to develop and create a working environment where these new skills are consistently expected and rewarded.

Description:

 A continuation of CHSE 1205: Environmental Management Foundations, this course is designed to provide the basic knowledge and skills needed to initiate and maintain an environmental  management program. The focus in this course is on the management of specific environmental hazards and the common tools and processes used in environmental management.

Description:

  From time to time, learners will find certain subject matter of particular interest to them and want to explore it further. It may be possible to achieve credit for this independent study, providing the direction and content of the study is consistent with the goals of CHSEP. In this course, learners will establish their own learning goals, review a text(s) and review journal articles related to their learning goals, and write a paper outlining what they have achieved. Supervision is provided through each of these phases and the final grade is weighted to recognize efforts in each of these tasks.

Description:

  Workplaces can be dangerous places. Risks from within and without can result in serious loss of life, property and process interruption. A reasoned, carefully-planned emergency response plan is like a fire extinguisher. You hope and pray you'll never need it, but if you do it has to work properly at that moment. This course equips learners with the basic tools needed to design and implement a practical emergency planning program in any setting.

Prerequisites:

Completion of all other courses (or equivalent)

Description:

 Core course. Upon completion of all the courses (or equivalent), learners will undertake a Guided Practicum. Here students will choose from four options, including development of  a comprehensive program in a particular context, a detailed program addressing a particular risk issue, development of a business case for their current OSHE Program, or another similar option. Learners will be coached through the entire process, starting with a review of a proposal and feedback at key points though the entire Practicum project.
