Health & Safety Management Course Descriptions

High-quality accident and incident investigations play an important role in effective workplace risk management. A thorough investigation can identify unsafe behaviours, weaknesses in control systems and procedural gaps, providing valuable insight that can be used to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.

Accurate and well-documented investigations can also provide important evidence if an employee claim or legal action arises, which may happen months or even years after an incident. Ensuring investigations are thorough, accurate and properly recorded can therefore help organisations both reduce future risk and protect their interests.

Workplace stress is a natural response to pressure and demands. While a certain level of pressure can motivate employees, excessive or prolonged pressure can negatively affect health, wellbeing and performance.

People respond to workplace pressures differently, and factors including skills, experience, age and disability can influence how individuals cope with stress. Organisations therefore need to take a considered approach to identifying and managing the risks associated with work-related stress.

Employers also have a legal responsibility to assess the risks associated with work-related stress and take appropriate steps to control them, in the same way as other workplace hazards.

This course provides participants with the knowledge and confidence to recognise and address workplace stress proactively.

Participants will learn how to:

Recognise the causes and potential impacts of workplace stress
Understand how individuals can respond differently to workplace pressures
Identify and assess risks associated with work-related stress
Consider appropriate measures to manage and control these risks
Support employee wellbeing and resilience
Meet relevant employer responsibilities
Contribute to a healthier and more productive working environment

Managing workplace premises effectively is essential to providing safe and suitable environments for employees, visitors and contractors. While facilities management teams or contractors may have responsibility for buildings, senior and middle managers can often find themselves responsible for overseeing premises and ensuring that appropriate health and safety standards are maintained.

Buildings, equipment and systems naturally deteriorate over time through age, use and environmental factors. Without effective monitoring, maintenance and control, this deterioration can create safety hazards, disrupt operations, reduce asset value and lead to potential legal consequences.

This course provides practical guidance to help managers understand the key legal, safety and operational considerations involved in managing occupied premises.

What will you learn?

Participants will develop the knowledge and confidence to manage premises effectively and identify potential risks before they result in harm or disruption.

The course covers:

Key health and safety considerations when managing premises
Identifying and controlling risks within occupied buildings
The importance of effective monitoring and maintenance
Managing the deterioration of buildings, equipment and systems
Understanding relevant legal and compliance requirements
Supporting the safety of employees, visitors and contractors
Practical approaches to maintaining safe and suitable workplace environments

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for Property Managers, Head Teachers, School Business Managers and Senior Responsible Persons who oversee the health and safety of occupied buildings.
