“Council fined after fatal accident”

Delivered over two half-day sessions, this masterclass is led in conjunction with our legal partners, Pinsent Masons. You will develop an understanding of the “big picture” on health and safety, asking questions such as: how serious is it? Why should we be concerned in waste and environmental services? What are the issues for us? What are the hazards and risks for my specific service? What role does the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) play and what are their powers? The course explores case law and best practice case studies.

This course has been reintroduced in response to the ongoing prosecutions of local authorities for breaches of health and safety regulations. Never has it been more important to have a sophisticated understanding of this vital area.

 

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this training you will:

  • Develop an overview of the “big picture” on health and safety and its impact
  • Explore the key Health & Safety issues for waste and environmental services
  • Analyse service specific hazards & risks and the appropriate response
  • Evaluate the role of the HSE and apply this to case studies
  • Critique case law and draw conclusions
  • Devise new approaches from best practice case studies – learning from others in our sectors

 

This course will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. To access it, you will need a WiFi connection or mobile data hotspot. Downloading Microsoft Teams to your laptop, desktop or smart device will give a better performance and greater functionality throughout the day.  This highly interactive training includes a mixture of presentations, video conferencing, group work, games, quizzes and video.
