Need some help
Still learning all i can in the EHS field. We recently had an outside consultant come in and do training on the ISO45001. What can i do to learn more about keeping our employees safe? Are there some courses I can take? Please keep in mind I also do HR at the facility and trying to do both roles can sometimes be a juggle.

What industry are you in?
Plastic compounding. So lots of different materials. Which means lots of learning.
Sandra,
You sound like me when I started in safety. No budget, scarce resources and bosses not wanting to ask for help, because that is why they hired you.
Start small by educating yourself and building your resources.
Contact JJ Keller and get a copy of:

You should be about to ask for a free copy – avoid the subscription plans, unless you want them.
This is a great resource and easy to digest.
