The Risk Management: Workplace Safety, Security, and Privacy course is the 19th of 20 courses developed as part of the Human Resources Certification Program.
In this course we'll examine the importance of safeguarding employee safety and health, as well as workplace security and privacy and why those safeguards are essential for business continuity and success.
Next, we'll explore various aspects of employee safety and health hazards and support systems employers can offer, such as employee assistance programs, or EAPs, and an employee wellness program.
And finally, we'll cover security risk analysis methods and security measures, as well as workplace privacy issues, privacy policies, and how you can best address employer and employee privacy concerns.
In topic one, Employee Safety, you'll gain insight into the importance of a safety needs analysis, the development and implementation of occupational injury and illness prevention programs and return to work programs, identifying workplace safety risks and establishing general health and safety practices, and an overview of OSHA investigation procedures.
Ignoring the possible impact of drug and alcohol abuse on any company may be a costly error. In topic two, Employee Health, our focus will be on identifying employee health hazards, substance abuse, and the programs employers can offer to assist employees in these areas.
Workplace security involves the physical and procedural measures taken to protect company assets. In topic three, Workplace Security, we'll discuss workplace and organizational threats, security risk analysis methods, emergency response planning, and workplace violence.
