Health & Safety in the workplace is an area where all companies need to be fully up to date with current best practice.
As a director or manager of a business, you have responsibilities. Are you up to date with the latest best practice? Do you have the relevant knowledge and understand what actions may be needed to protect your workers and your business effectively?
This interactive webinar explores health and safety management from the managers perspective. Dealing with key areas of risk that may not on first sight seem important but can become safety management icebergs.
A safety management iceberg is a potential issue which seems innocuous at first sight, yet which can cause immense damage if you run into it. It can harm not only the company and its employees but, in some cases, can also get senior managers into deep trouble.
For example, it is a well-accepted principal of law that the accused must be considered innocent unless, and until, the accuser (the prosecution) can prove their guilt beyond all reasonable doubt. But the exception to the principle occurs when the charge is that a company failed in its duty of care to an employee – and this is a charge the HSE uses on a regular basis.
In such a case the law requires only that the prosecution (the HSE) prove that there was an accident in the workplace which resulted in somebody being injured. To avoid a finding of guilt, the company must prove that it did all it reasonably could to avoid the accident. If the company cannot meet this challenge they face substantial fines, and their senior staff may potentially be at risk of prosecution and heavy penalties.
Many companies, and H&S officers, misunderstand the challenge posed by these icebergs. This webinar will make sure you're fully up to date with what is expected of you to avoid these situations.
This training course is part of our collection of Facilities Management Training Courses which offer a wide range of topics to help assist you in navigating potential risks in relation to fire safety, industrial accidents and all the vital aspects of facilities and property management.
The speaker, a specialist safety management consultant and qualified accident investigator, will use case studies and real-world examples throughout this webinar to help bring the subject to life, ensuring delegates gain a full understanding of this important area.
In short, everyone who has a responsibility for health & safety in the workplace, including:
and all those that are in a position to promote a positive health & safety culture at work.
