HSE Management in Projects

“HSE is the cornerstone of a project”

This course is an extension of the Basic Course in HSE management. The approach is based on the latest principles in project management and the course shows participants how HSE work can be integrated into the various phases of the project, from planning and design to start-up and execution.

Solid HSE work is now a basic requirement if the potential of a project to create value is to be exploited. For this reason, HSE becomes a natural part of professional project execution. The course provides participants with training in how HSE is best handled in the project, at the same time as the participants are better enabled to view HSE work from a holistic perspective. The course therefore considers HSE as an integral part of the management system used in projects. The keywords for the course are theory-based knowledge and reflection on practice vs. theory.
