How to manage health and safety in the workplace

It is not enough these days to ensure all employees in a business understand about health and safety rules and know how to work safely. You need to have a solid health and safety policy in place, and know how to implement and manage it properly.
It takes specialist health and safety training to be able to do this efficiently, which is why all senior safety personnel, supervisors and managers will have the qualification known as the CIEH Level 4 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace.
This training can help you to manage health and safety by teaching you how to design and implement safe procedures and practices, and regularly check on their effectiveness through monitoring and auditing programmes.
It also gives you a greater understanding of specific legal requirements relevant to your role, as well as helping to liaise with enforcement officers and deliver sound and consistent health and safety training to your staff and colleagues.
By looking at all of these crucial topics over the course of five days, and after an examination has been completed, you will be confident and fully qualified to be able to manage health and safety in virtually any type of business.
