Health & Safety Management for the Modern Business

About

Has your company grown past 5 employees and now needs to implement Health & Safety measures? Directors and Senior Managers may not fully understand their personal, moral and corporate responsibilities. This is a certificated course that covers high level responsibilities, as well as the basic foundations of a good overall management system, with a clear understanding of the requirements of health and safety law as it applies to their business and how it should be implemented.
