The Managing Safely refresher is designed to provide continued support to managers in dealing with health and safety issues in the workplace.

Aims:

Specifically, the course aims to:

  • revise key management responsibilities from the Managing Safely course
  • update relevant changes in relevant, good practice guidance, legislation and standards

Delegate prerequisites:

Delegates must have completed a Managing Safely course within the last 3 years.

Duration:

The core syllabus is designed to be delivered over a minimum period of 1 day. However, trainers will need to assess the needs of their delegates. For example, some delegates may need to revisit relevant common hazards. Trainers should be prepared to accommodate these needs.

Programme:

The core programme is designed to revisit key management responsibilities from the Managing Safely course and provide updates on relevant changes in good practice guidance, legislation and standards. It does not, therefore, revisit all the Managing Safely modules in equal depth. Trainers should be prepared to revise and update delegates on material outside of the suggested core programme, according to delegate needs, such as common hazards and environmental matters.
