Independently and in a group contribute to developing and maintaining an HSEQ management system. 2. Coordinate quality, environmental and work environment issues for an organisation. 3. Independently process content in the field so that it leads to further learning and professional development in quality, environmental and work environment work Description of the goals the student has achieved: In the course, the student learns about quality, environmental and work environment issues for an organisation, such as risk assessments, environmental investigations and process thinking. The course includes establishing and maintaining a management system (according to ISO) that covers all parts of HSEQ. The course deals with the circular economy, SAM and different types of analyses an organisation needs to carry out in its management system work, e.g. stakeholder analysis and environmental scanning. After completing the course, the student shall, in their professional role, be able to communicate, integrate and anchor HSEQ work in an organisation.
