INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
Effective health and safety management offers considerable advantages to any organisation aiming to enhance workplace wellbeing and operational performance.
This Advanced Health & Safety Management training course draws on the principles outlined in Successful Health and Safety Management by the UK’s Health and Safety Executive. It equips participants with the essential knowledge and tools needed to implement and maintain a robust health and safety management system within their organisation.
A well-functioning safety management approach must go beyond formal procedures. It should address risks in a sensible and proportionate manner. Ultimately, the success of such systems depends largely on the prevailing organisational culture—how people think and behave regarding safety at work.
As Dame Judith Hackitt, former Chair of the UK’s Health and Safety Executive, has rightly noted, effective health and safety involves a balanced, pragmatic approach where processes support operations rather than hinder them. Health and safety should be treated with the same level of expertise and importance as other core business functions.
This KC Academy training course will cover:
- Key legal obligations and regulatory frameworks
- Application of the HSG65 model for health and safety management
- The impact of human factors on safety performance
- Risk analysis and hazard mitigation strategies
- Performance measurement and HAZOP methodologies
