Course Introduction

'Prime responsibility for accident and ill health prevention rests with management'
(Health and Safety Executive – Successful Health and Safety Management HSG65)

The health and safety performance and legal compliance of an organisation is usually demonstrated by the level of commitment of its management team. In fact, managers are often criticised for failing to take their policy duties and legal responsibilities seriously.

But what is often forgotten is that managers simply don’t have the underpinning knowledge and understanding of what is required to manage safety in their area of responsibility. This is why education and training are crucial to any organisation’s health and safety management system.
