Workplace Law announces new IOSH Managing Safely course dates for 2008

Workplace Law has just announced new 2008 course dates for IOSH Managing Safely, meaning even more choice of dates and locations for the UK's most popular health and safety training course. The course is perfect for managers and supervisors in any sector and organisation who want to make a significant impact in improving their health and safety culture. Places can be booked now at http://www.workplacelaw.net/training/course/id/4.

The course is accredited by IOSH, and will help attendees and their organisations to:

-know what is meant by the terms 'hazard' and 'risk';
-evaluate risk using a structured risk assessment approach;
-identify and implement appropriate workplace precautions for specific risks or seek advice on workplace precautions;
-be involved in preparing written risk assessments;
-understand and have input into their organisation’s health and safety policy and health and safety management system;
-cooperate and communicate on health and safety matters;
-ensure that their own work and that of the employees for whom they are responsible is carried out safely, i.e. without undue risk to themselves and others;
-report relevant accidents and incidents; and
-identify methods of monitoring how safe their workplaces are.

The course can be delivered over a number of weeks on a day-release basis, or in a four-day block. A five-day option is also available. If you are looking to train eight or more people in your organisation, the course can be run on site in your own training room, providing the ability to tailor the content to your own organisation and offering great value for money. All candidates are formally assessed by means of an examination at the end of the course and a practical workplace-based assessment, and delegates who successfully complete the course will receive an IOSH certificate.

-Manchester, City Inn Hotel, 12-15 November 2007
