Failure to include health and safety as a key business risk in board decisions can have catastrophic results. Many high-profile safety cases over the years have been rooted in failures of leadership.
Health and safety law places duties on organisations and employers, and directors can be personally liable when these duties are breached: members of the board have both collective and individual responsibility for health and safety within their organisation.
The course is delivered by a director and barrister with over 10 years’ experience in strategic health and safety management.
The course provides an introduction to the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Standard requirements. The course details each requirement of the standard and how this can be achieved in a quality management system for an organisation. Practical examples provide an insight into the implementation and operation of quality management systems in a variety of business sectors.
Asbestos can be found in any building built before the year 2000 (houses, factories, offices, schools, hospitals etc) and causes around 5,000 deaths every year. Workers and supervisors must be able to recognise asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and know what to do if they come across them in order to protect themselves and others.
Information, instruction and training for asbestos awareness is intended to give workers, supervisors and managers the information they need to avoid work that may disturb asbestos during any normal work which could disturb the fabric of a building, or other item which might contain asbestos. It will not prepare workers, or self-employed contractors, to carry out work with asbestos-containing materials. If a worker is planning to carry out work that will disturb ACMs, further information, instruction and training will be needed.
Upon completion of the course, delegates will be able to demonstrate an understanding of:
- the properties of asbestos and its effects on health, including the increased risk of developing lung cancer for asbestos workers who smoke
- the types, uses and likely occurrence of asbestos and asbestos materials in buildings and plant
- the general procedures to deal with an emergency, e.g., an uncontrolled release of asbestos dust into the workplace
- how to avoid the risk of exposure to asbestos
