OSH for HR (Face-to-Face | September 11, 2025)

OSH For HR Practitioners

Brief Description

By the end of the day, participants will be able to identify HR’s legal responsibilities under RA 11058 and DOLE DO 252 (2025), translate those duties into workplace policies and processes, and carry out basic OSH compliance tasks (training records, incident reporting, coordination with Safety Officers, return-to-work processes, and contractor pre-qualification).

3. Apply a simple workplace risk communication and medical leave/return-to-work flow that aligns with statutory requirements.
