Basic Course in Working Environment

In-house course

A statutory course for managers, safety representatives and members of working environment committees. The course provides a thorough introduction to the Working Environment Act, HSE work and roles in the workplace, and equips participants to contribute to systematic HSE work.

Build a safe, efficient and resilient workplace – with the right competence as the foundation

Sikkerhetsledelse offers a practical and engaging basic course in working environment for safety representatives, members of the working environment committee (AMU) and managers with HSE responsibility. The course gives participants the statutory competence – and, not least, the practical tools – needed to contribute actively to the organisation's HSE work.

With us, HSE is not just about theory – it is about creating real impact in day-to-day work. With experienced course instructors, we link the regulations to practical implementation and decision support.
