At the end of the course, directors and senior managers will understand their personal liabilities in relation to health and safety, how to reduce risk in the workplace, and the positive impact that good health and safety can have on the bottom line.

Learners start the course with a scenario-based exercise. Participants play the role of directors of a fictitious organisation where there has been a fatal accident. They discover the consequences of the accident for the organisation and for them as individuals.

Learners are then encouraged to reflect on the quality of the health and safety management systems in their own workplaces and their personal leadership in respect of health and safety. The course includes the latest think around mental health and wellbeing, and how to tackle work-related stress and presenteeism.

By the end of the course students will:

• Understand the health and safety requirements placed on organisations and individuals
• Understand how to reduce risks to people and the business
• Understand how good health and safety will support the bottom line
• Assess how well safety, health and wellbeing is being led within their organisation
• Understand the latest thinking on wellbeing, mental health and stress management
