Managing Health & Safety In Secondary Workplace

Including working at home, driving in work time and visiting sites and other premises

Introduction

This practical one day course is aimed to provide delegates with a broad understanding of how health and safety should be managed in all working environments. Often organisations overlook situations where employees are at work but not in their normal place of work.

The Presenter will outline the structure of health and safety law and how organisations and individuals could become liable for health and safety offences.  Roles and responsibilities for health and safety will be discussed through the key legislation and the presenter will explore with the delegates how these responsibilities are just as relevant whenever and wherever anyone is actually working.

The principles of risk assessment will be considered and their practical implementation discussed in relation to the management of the various hazards that are likely to be present in secondary workplaces.
