Directors Role in Health and Safety (DRHS)

Introducing the Directors Role for Health and Safety Course.
This course is delivered in our Conference Room, delegates and trainer meeting around the Directors' Table to discuss and bring their ideas on how to successfully promote and maintain a positive organisational culture for health and safety into their organisation.

- Appreciate the consequences from failing to manage health and safety effectively.
- Understand the importance of competent duty holders, and the significance of their co-operation, communication and co-ordination of health and safety in their undertaking.
- Recognise the need to appoint competent health and safety assistance, and the limitations of such an appointment.
