Following the introduction of new sentencing guidelines, multi-million-pound fines have been imposed on companies and there has been an increase in the number of directors receiving immediate custodial sentences. This course has been developed to ensure that students understand the implications of good health and safety practices as a personal responsibility as well as an organisational need.

Students finish the course with a personalised action plan to help implement the practices they learn.
