Managing Legal Liability for Safety
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers legal appointments and duties and risk assessment from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because incident investigation frequently stops at the immediate cause, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with toolbox talks, incident investigation and hazard identification in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about toolbox talks without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 14001
- Put incident investigation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where hazard identification is failing before it becomes a finding
- Take ownership of contractor safety management rather than escalating it
