Due to the moral and financial implications of a workplace accident, the implementation of health and safety policies should be well-placed on any employer’s agenda. Managers and directors play an essential role in this process, with their attitudes and actions having a direct impact upon safety culture amongst employees. If these policies are communicated effectively, businesses can expect to see improvements to productivity and morale, whilst avoiding the costs associated with poor safety awareness.

This one-day course aims to equip those in senior roles with the theoretical and practical knowledge required to enhance safety culture in the workplace. The session includes guidance on assessing risk and ensuring that findings are accurately reflected in the overall strategy of the business. We also provide insight on the application of safety management systems and outline techniques to assist with the communication of policies across business levels.

Upon completion of the course, delegates can expect to develop a purposeful understanding of the responsibilities they hold in promoting health and safety at work. As a result, they can begin to drive positive change where necessary within their organisation, leading a concerted effort towards accident prevention.
