The Conference

Safety is not the prerogative of the safety specialist but also one of the component parts in every management discipline. An office manager is no less responsible for the safety of his team than the construction manager. The law and company policy applies equally to both. The course will not turn delegates into safety experts but it will give them the appreciation of what safety issues are about and the methods available to them to ensure that safety is implemented in their own workplaces. It is after all a manager’s responsibility to have a workplace free of danger and a workforce free of ill health and accidents. Managers will be able to review their own departmental systems for safety, introducing new controls or implementing changes as appropriate to ensure safety in the workplace.

Upon successful completion of the course delegates should be able to:

• Implement workplace precaution hierarchies
• Identify data and techniques required to produce an adequate record of an incident
• Prepare and use active monitoring checklists
• Explain the component parts of a recognised Safety Management System
• Implement environmentally friendly systems

The Goals

• Understanding, assessing and controlling risks
• Understanding responsibilities
• Investigating accidents and incidents
• Measuring performance
• Protecting the environment

The Process

The course is presented with superb power point and animated graphic presentations. Quizzes, board games and DVDs keep the delegates active and fully involved, on the ball and never bored. It is a practical program with easy guidance and a sharp business aim. Delegates will be enthusiastic and involved and ready to go back to implement the methods learnt on going back to work.
