Health And Safety For Senior Managers

Senior leaders will have completed initial education on due diligence and legal duties when the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 was enacted but may not have translated this into strategy, or further advanced their processes beyond the initial system changes.

You'll Learn:

• To participate in or facilitate a bow tie analysis of critical risks to ensure that all possible control measures have been identified and examined using the reasonably practicable test.
• To consider your organisation’s critical risk management processes and assurances to identify areas for improvement.
• To be able to examine your current health monitoring programme – are you meeting minimum legal requirements to monitor health related to your organisation’s hazards?
• To examine current initiatives to ensure they are not overly generalised and are in response to your identified work-related psychosocial risks.
• To involve workers and management to identify wellness programme options that would benefit your team and therefore improve retention, resilience, and engagement.
