Overview:
Organisations which are able to manage H, S & W successfully display a number of common characteristics. They have H & S risks under control and they achieve a progressive improvement in their injury and ill health record.
Whilst the other two courses in this series examine the 'off site' activities, this course will concentrate on the management of H, S & W. 'on site'.
