You will study a variety of topics such as:

Introducing managing safely: Some managers may see health and safety as an add-on to their role – even an intrusion. The first module makes it clear that managers are accountable for their teams, and makes a persuasive case for managing safely.

Assessing risks: This module defines and demystifies ‘risk’ and ‘risk assessment’.

Controlling risks: The session tackles cutting risks down, concentrating on the best techniques to control key risks, and how to choose the right method.

Understanding your responsibilities: This module looks at the demands of the law and how the legal system works, and introduces a health and safety management system.

Identifying hazards: All the main issues any operation has to deal with are covered in this module.

Investigating accidents and incidents: The session starts with why accidents should be investigated, and goes on to cover why things go wrong, and how to carry out an investigation when they do.

Measuring performance: This module explains how checking performance can help to improve health and safety.

Protecting our environment: A short but effective introduction to waste and pollution leads into a look at how organisations and individual managers can get involved in cutting down environmental impacts.
