Health & Safety For Managers AGCC
 
Health and Safety For Managers Outline
This advanced Health & Safety management course provides an understanding of the Risk Assessment process following the HSE's guide '5 Steps to Risk Assessment', and uses case law to define principles including absolute, practicable, reasonably practicable and reasonable.

The course delves into the meaning behind the thinking of 'reasonably practicable' and looks at how the term 'reasonable man' is defined, and explores the significant differences in law and foreseeability. It looks at what is the Duty of Care, and who does it extend to? Case law is used to explain principles such as an employer's duty of care cannot be delegated, individual duty of care and personal liability (criminal). The course also discusses vicarious liability; which section of the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 are used to prosecute individuals, and explores in detail the powers of the enforcing authorities.

The course looks at accident management, communication and health and safety culture and identifies vulnerabilities and disability and how they should be incorporated into the risk assessment process.
