Our service and training centres are located in Windhoek, Ongwediva and Walvis Bay. Our mobile training unit makes our services and training available in the whole of Namibia.

Our mission is to facilitate service and training relevant to the organisation. Programmes are tailored to our clients’ requirements and needs. Our quality improvement measures, our total commitment to customer service, and our unwavering determination to match and exceed industry benchmarks allow us to excel in providing the best possible products to our customers.
OUR MOTTO
Our motto of service, training and excellence is embedded in our culture and is the very cornerstone of our aim to create significance in the lives of the professionals we train. These professionals leave feeling accomplished and well equipped to ensure that their new-found knowledge and skills positively impact those that they come into contact with.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
Every business has safety risks and presents various kinds of safety hazards to its employees. Occupational safety deals with all aspects of physical, mental and social health and safety in a workplace. It is the umbrella for a company’s efforts to prevent injuries and hazards in all work environments.
EMERGENCY AND MEDICAL CARE
The provision of timely treatment during life-threatening emergencies in the emergency medical service (EMS) and hospital set-up is our priority for the health systems in Africa. Good training plays a very important role in medical care for contributing to health improvements within societies.
FIRST AID
The importance of first aid is hard to overestimate. The greatest benefit of first aid is that it allows those trained with the potentially life-saving ability to assist an injured or ill person during a variety of emergency situations till the ambulance arrives. A well-trained OSH-Med International First Aider can save a life.
INDUSTRIAL FIRE FIGHTING
By establishing a fire prevention and preparedness programme with OSH-Med International legal compliance training, potential fires, injuries to employees and visitors, costly damages, and potential fines to business and household can be avoided.
OSH INSPECTION
Occupational safety deals with all aspects of physical, mental and social health and safety in a workplace. OSH-Med International comes to to the workplace and inspects the company according to the standards implemented. Workplace inspections help prevent incidents, injuries and illnesses. OSH-Med can help plan, conduct, report and monitor inspections. Regular workplace inspections are an important part of the overall OSH programme and management system.

OSH POLICIES
An OSH policy is simply a method of stating how employees, contractors and visitors are expected to behave when they are on company property or performing company-related activities. Employers and contractors are required by law to provide a safe system of work. OSH-Med International is available towrite the OSH policy to suit company needs.
OSH ASSISTANCE
OSH assistance is designed to help employers, employees, health and safety committees to develop workplace health and safety programmes and to prepare plans of action to prevent accidents or occupational diseases. Investigations are conducted to meet and achieve good health and safety.
EVACUATION EXERCISE AND PLAN
A well-rehearsed and practised evacuation plan and drill can save lives. An evacuation plan lays out how to exit a building safely during an emergency. OSH-Med International can create evacuation plans. The purpose of an evacuation exercise is to identify any deficiencies and weaknesses in current procedures, test the knowledge and skills of the OSH Committee and ensure building occupants are familiar with evacuation procedures. Our practical evacuation drill is designed to test and validate emergency procedures
RISK ASSESSMENT
Part of managing the health & safety of any business involves controlling workplace risks. This is known as risk assessment and is required by law to carry out.
ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT INVESTIGATION
OSH-Med International offers independent accident and incident investigation. This entails an investigation into an undesired event that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally and results in personal injury or in property damage. OSH-Med International can assist in investigating in the event of an accident and incident and provide an independent outcome and report to improve OSH at the workplace.
