CITB Site Safety Plus Directors Role for Health & Safety

This one-day interactive course has been designed for company directors and senior managers active in a health and safety strategic role in the built environment with the aim of recognising directors’ duties of care and the implications of non-compliance with health and safety legislation.

Aims to help directors:

• Recognise the moral, economic and legal costs/implications of decisions made in the boardroom that may make their business liable.
• Understand the significance of strategic management of risks.
• Appreciate the range of consequences from failing to manage health and safety effectively.
• Understand the importance of competent duty holders, and the significance of their cooperation, communication and coordination of health and safety on projects.
• Recognise the need to appoint competent health and safety assistance, and the limitations of such an appointment, and identify the basic tools to introduce a proactive health and safety culture into an organisation, and the benefits of this approach.
