Health And Safety Legislation
and Responsibilities.
A Brief overview
The safety culture is determined by the values and priorities demonstrated by everyone at every level of an organisation. Hazard identification, management strategies and the importance of setting the correct example to staff to maintain a safe workplace is the shared responsibilities of supervisors and team leaders. |  |
| A positive safety culture is important because organisations with a strong safety culture have less accidents and incidents, as everyone’s behaviour is aligned towards the common goal of avoiding harm to people. It is widely recognised that employee behaviour is a significant contributory factor in a large proportion of accidents and incidents in any workplace. |
Who should attend:
It is important to set the example to staff to maintain a safe workplace and to observe safe work practices. More than ever before, responsibilities for health and safety is shared. If you have any influence or control over others in a workplace, then the law says you have responsibilities, so this workshop is a ‘must do’ for managers, supervisors, leading hands, health and safety representatives and committee members.
