Course Description

This simplified Business Case (BC) in the Occupational Environmental, Health, and Safety (OEHS) course provides the participants with a framework and interactive tools. BC in OEHS is a structured method for justifying a project (intervention) to decision-makers. It captures the effects of implementing programs or activities on employee health and safety (injury or illness), risk management, and the business process. The effects include customary financial business metrics, such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), return on investment (ROI), and payback period (PBP), which are meaningful to business management. This tool also includes non-financial measures, those that cannot be directly or easily monetized. In reality, the Business Case answers the question: What’s in it for the company?

The authors will discuss how to assess OEHS risks and align them with key business objectives.
