Introduction
Safety for Senior Executives aims to
ensure that health and safety is appreciated
by people at the
most senior executive levels. The course should
enable top executives to review policy and strategies,
and, where necessary, introduce changes to make
their organisation operate more safely.
Persons
who should attend
Safety for Senior Executives is for
people with strategic responsibilities. The
course is not an alternative
to Managing Safely, but is for those people
who determine that an organisation has an
active health
and safety policy within its corporate governance
portfolio and follow it by delegating the
day-to-day
responsibility for safety to managers.
Course
aims
To ensure that top level decision-makers develop
an appreciation of the moral, financial and
legal issues
relating to workplace health and safety-throughout
the management process.
