An Introduction to Managing Health and Safety
All work places contain hazards to the health of the people who work in and visit it. In the absence of any management these hazards are uncontrolled and present an unacceptable danger to all concerned. The aim of health and safety management, therefore, is to turn these uncontrolled hazards into controlled risks. This course will enable you to do this by using a cyclical process of problem identification, solution provision and ongoing evaluation.

Risk Assessment For Managers
Failure to comply with the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999 results in prosecution and heavy penalties for employers. Such prosecutions rarely arise from any wilful intention to break the law, but rather through either an ignorance of the legal requirements or a lack of understanding of how to comply with them. By requiring managers and/or health and safety staff to undertake this course such problems are more likely to be avoided.
