Introduction

Effective decision-making in health, safety, and environmental (HSSE) management requires a solid foundation in research methods.  This five-day "HSSE Research Methods" course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to conduct research relevant to HSSE issues, analyze data effectively, and utilize findings for program improvement.

Objective

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify and define research questions relevant to HSSE concerns.
• Select appropriate research methods for different HSSE research inquiries.
• Develop a sound research design and methodology for conducting HSSE research.
• Collect and analyze HSSE data using various techniques.
• Interpret research findings and draw meaningful conclusions.
• Apply research findings to improve HSSE programs and interventions.

Audience

• Safety Officers and Health & Safety Specialists
• Environmental Professionals and Sustainability Managers
• HSSE Program Managers and Specialists
• Human Resources Professionals involved in HSSE data analysis
• Researchers interested in applying their skills to HSSE issues
• Anyone seeking to conduct research and improve their organization's HSSE performance through evidence-based approaches.

Certificate

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
