Key programme benefits to future students
An application approach is taken to skills development for participants to develop a health and safety policy for their organisation.
Students will become familiar with the most up to date legislation in health and safety.
A strong focus of the programme is on the impact of personal behaviour in the assurance of a safe work environment. This approach adds to the traditional approaches and seeks to co-create a safety culture in the organisation in which everyone feels empowered and responsible.
