Workplace Safety Manager I

Workplace Safety Manager I

This course covers safety management systems in the workplace. It offers participants the opportunity to obtain a working knowledge of the elements that need to be applied in an organisation to develop and maintain a safe working environment.

Combining formal lectures and discussions, Workplace Safety Manager I will give you the skills, confidence and qualifications to:

  • Describe the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2005 and the General Applications Regulations 2017.
  • Define hazards and risks and describe the legal requirements for risk assessment. How is the hierarchy of control used to control risk?
  • Assess an area and determine if the protective and preventative measures employed reduce the risk assessment to a manageable level.
  • Describe the elements which constitute a safety management system and the techniques used to review it.
  • Understand that successful delivery of safety management cannot be achieved by one-off interventions. A sustained and systematic approach is necessary.
  • State statutory requirements for reporting of accidents and procedures for checking non reporting of accidents and near misses.
  • Describe methods of trend and epidemiological analysis data for reactive monitoring.
  • Develop methods and techniques to carry out quantitative and qualitative risk assessments and understand why judgement is necessary.
