Introduction

Health, safety and welfare training is mandatory for staff at all levels of an organisation. This is the ideal course to satisfy that requirement – a stimulating ‘entry level’ programme explaining how health, safety and welfare should be managed in any working environment.

The course outlines the basics of health, safety and welfare law and how organisations and individual can become liable for health, safety and welfare offences. Roles and responsibilities for health, safety and welfare are discussed by reference to the key legislation and the expert trainer will explore with the delegates how these responsibility are managed in practice in different types of organisation.
