Corporate Health and Safety Briefing

How well equipped is your organisation to deal with a serious accident or fatality at work? If you were subject to an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive or the police, how would you manage the interview process? Do you, and your board of directors, understand the importance of recently introduced corporate manslaughter legislation?

The first company to be prosecuted under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2008, Cotswold Geotechnical Holdings Ltd, has been fined £385,000 - representing 116% of the company's annual turnover. This is a landmark ruling which has implications for all businesses across the UK. Directors and senior executives need to act now if they want to avoid the heavy penalties and bad publicity that come from cases like this.

This one-day Corporate Health and Safety Briefing has been specially designed to help directors and senior managers comply with health and safety legislation and to ensure that they discharge their duty of care towards employees, contractors and members of the public.

The course covers the syllabus of IOSH Directing Safely, and can be accredited by IOSH subject to completion of a short practical assignment and brief written examination*.
