Course overview

It is often the case that HR pick up some of the responsibility for health and safety within a business.

In many businesses there simply aren’t the resources to have specialist teams for matters like H&S. Even in organisations with H&S support, HR are often required to take responsibility for a wide range of H&S matters from an employee relations perspective. But, without knowledge and training, how can HR and other non-specialist H&S people ensure they minimise the risks to themselves, the employees and the organisation?

This course has been designed to give the HR professional the essential information they need to understand what is required of them. It will provide practical guidance on what their organisation needs in place, and give them the knowledge and confidence to handle H&S scenarios.

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.

  • Navigate health & safety management from a practical viewpoint
